03189 Staveley-Barrow-Hill 101179 GE179

03189 inside the roundhouse at Staveley Barrow Hill on 10th November 1979. 03189 was built at BR Swindon Works in March 1961 as D2189. After its time at Staveley Barrow Hill it was transferred to Birkenhead Mollington Street during 1983 and worked around the Bidston Docks area of the Wirral. Withdrawn on 16th March 1986 and after a failed sale into industrial use, 03189 moved to Norwich Crown Point to assist other ailing 03's, but her lack of air train brakes prevented her taking up station pilot duties. It was sent to March for storage and eventually sold into preservation. It is now at the Ribble Steam Railway at Preston Docks. ©Gordon Edgar/Railphotoprints.co.uk
