Manufacturer description

Delivered from BREL Doncaster during October 1984, 58017 stayed in its as-delivered condition until 1989, when it was repainted into Triple Grey with Coal Sector branding. It gained a Toton depot plaque but was not named. In September 1993, it was named “Eastleigh Depot” and soon afterwards was rebranded with the Mainline "wheels" logo. It remained in this condition right up until its withdrawal and storage in April 1999. It became a parts donor for the locomotives overhauled for export and was, rather ironically, scrapped by EMR at Eastleigh in January 2014.
