When a locomotive was reallocated to a different shed the plate was taken off and replaced with one from the new shed.

With the introduction of diesel and electric motive power the system of allocation became changed.

From the introduction of TOPS in 1973, all British Rail diesel and electric locomotives and multiple units were allocated to a particular traction maintenance depot or TMD. . Drawing from the terminology of steam traction, these depots were generally referred to as "sheds", and indeed most locations were those which had possessed depots for steam loc
From late 1970, British Rail started to apply new numbers to locomotives and multiple units based on the TOPS classification system, the first classes to be dealt with being the LNER-design EM1 type (TOPS class 76) and the AL3 and AL4 types of AC electric locomotives (TOPS classes 83 and 84). The format of these numbers is xxxyyy, where xxx is ...
The design was derived from the Ivatt-designed Class 2 2-6-0, with a reduced cab to enable it to fit into a universal loading gauge, and other standard fittings, most notably a taller chimney, others including the lack of an Ivatt dome and side plates connecting the two sections of the engine. Like the LMS predecessor the BR design had a tender ...

The main locomotive allocations to Derby Road shed over the years were LMS Black 5 4-6-0s, including the two Caprotti valve gear Black 5s Nos. 44686 and 44687. Alongside the two Caprotti-geared Black 5s were two other engines which would later be preserved, 44767 (the unique Stephenson valve gear Black 5) & 45337, which were allocated to Derby ...
