David J. Hayes adds - A splendid sunny picture of a named "split-box" Class 45 "Peak" hauling a traditional mixed goods train. What's not to like! It's interesting to note that the headcode ID is still in use, as the use of four-character headcode displays was officially abolished in January 1976 and most of them later wound to show 0000 or a variation of this (e.g. 0--0). In the case of some of the surviving Class 52 "Westerns", the redundant headcode panel was used to display the locomotive's number.
