and continued operating until 1966, fitted with a yellow warning panel. No. 10000 was withdrawn in 1963 and scrapped at Cashmores, Great Bridge, in January 1968; between withdrawal and scrapping, 10000 spent some time in storage at Derby, and was one of the locos on display at the Derby Works Open Day and Flower Show in August 1964. No. 10001's later workings were said to be mainly on North London freights to Greenwich, but was also photographed on Wolverhampton expresses and WCML freights during this period. Together, the two units clocked more than 2 million miles. 10001 was withdrawn in 1966 and scrapped at Cox & Danks, North Acton, also in January 1968. Legacy The bogie design was used practically unchanged on the EM2 electric locomotives (). The bogie design incorporating equalising beam suspension influenced a large number of subsequent British diesel locomotives designs. Both locos were subject to preservation attempts from railwaymen who appreciated the change and improvements gained by the switch to diesels. 10000 was offered to Clapham Railway Museum, but was refused on grounds of space and not representing a class. No. 10001 was hidden at the back of Willesden Depot, having been 'overlooked' for removal at least twice. Re-creation In 2011, the Ivatt Diesel Re-creation Society announced plans to build a replica of no. 10000, using contemporary parts as well as new build components. The society has sourced a Mark 1 English Electric 16SVT diesel engine dating to the 1940s and the sole remaining Metropolitan Vickers bogies dating from the 1950s, formerly used by a class EM2 electric locomotive in England and the Netherlands. These bogies are of the same design as on the original 10000 although with weaker springs, which will be replaced. The society has purchased Class 58 diesel 58022 which will be used as the new locomotive's chassis. An engineering summary was made public in 2019 followed lengthy discussions with engineers within the railway industry and after ascertaining the most available and practical group of components to include within the locomotive.
