The first of the Modernisation Plan diesel locomotives to be built at Crewe were a batch of the BR/Sulzer Type 2's,
commencing with D5030. It was during January that the frames were laid for D5030, the first of a batch of thirty
six, all destined for the Eastern Region. D5030 was delivered in June 1959, and was allocated to March (31B).
It is seen here on 17/03/74. Apologies for poor quality photo, but it's the only one I have of a 24 at HM.
Much more in-depth facts and figures relating to this loco can be found here.
