    No I do not currently volunteer
    Having seen your Class 40 pic at Norwich Thorpe I searched on Norwich and found that your Class 101 DMU listed as Norwich Thorpe isn't (you can't see a road and shops out of the side of NT)....It was really confusing as the column bases were identical to Norwich Thorpe so I started to doubt myself but, I think it is Felixstowe http://www.nearthecoast.com/felixstowe/earlier-in-felixstowe/felix-station.jpg which I can't believe was my first guess on realising it wasn't Norwich, given I only went there once as a child about 35 years ago...Do I get a prize?

    Continuing on with the EE Type 4’s/class 40,
    THIS COLLECTION FEATURES MORE LOCOS BUILT/INTRODUCED TO TRAFFIC IN 1961 BUILT AT ROBERT STEPHENSON & HAWTHORN LTD
    Only the following built/introduced in 1961 D315-D324
    Including the ill fated D322
    On 13 May 1966, a freight train became divided between Norton Junction and Weaver Junction, Cheshire.

The locomotive was withdrawn September 1967.
