Interestingly D1005 is missing as it was outside so D1004 must be back inside for rectification.

Peter Kerslake adds "Steam locomotive wheels in the foreground with a line up of new Westerns in Swindon's 'A' Shop. Swindon built 30 of the class but had to transfer construction of five to Crewe which thus built 44. Both Works experienced delays due to delayed delivery of power units and transmission systems from Germany and it was not until January 1964 that the last of the 30 to be built at Swindon namely D1029 Western Legionnaire emerged."
