Classes 01, 03 (up to D2022/03022), 04 (up to D2259), 05 (up to D2573), 08 (up to D3366/ 08296) and 10 (up to D3151) originally carried numbers in the 11xxx and 13xxx series, before being given D-prefix numbers in 1957 and, if they survived that long, TOPS numbers in the '70s. Are there any, outside preservation, still in service?
As far as I can make out, 08168 and 08220 (original numbers 13236 and 13290) were still working for their living a couple of years ago.
(Older pre-nationalisation types, including classes 11, 12, 76 and 77, the nine prototype main line diesels, and the sixteen electric locos inherited from the LNER and SR, never received D/E prefix numbers, although Class 76s did eventually get TOPS numbers).
