The preserved Class 31018 (D5500 - Brush Type 2). The first 20 locos, originally numbered D5500-D5519, were recognisable as they did not have the headcode box mounted on the roof above the cab. This led to the nickname "Skinheads". The locomotive has since been painted into BR livery and is now part of the National Collection, at the York National Railway Museum - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3059275
