reliving my childhood from the 1970s and I have read that when D1062 Western Courier was taken inside the works at Swindon in 1976 to commence it's restoration, that D1068 which by chance failed at Swindon, was placed on the works turntable as it's replacement - until such time as D1015 Western Champion was swapped and spent time on the turntable. I've read that the works manager wasn't impressed that a Crewe built locomotive had pride of place so this was soon rectified.
Does anyone know the from and to dates that D1068 spent on the works turntable?
