BR 76xxx's at Neasden Jan 14, 2010 19:10:15 GMT

Im making a model of one of the 76xxx's based at Neasden (34E up until 1958 and then 14D until 1961/2 when i think i must have been absorbed by the LT depot on the same site.)
the engines in question are 76035-44 and 76052

if anyone has any pictures of these locos or any more information or any good pictures of 76xxx's in general during the early 60's that would be great.

cheers in advance

Then it'll be moverd.

Due to the introduction of Class 115s on local Marylebone services to High Wycombe and Aylesbury, as well as the electrification of the Metropolitan from Rickmansworth to Amersham/Chesham, Neasden BR (which was on the opposite side of the LT depot), along with it's sub sheds Chesham and Aylesbury, became redundant despite steam continuing for long distance GCR trains. The 76xxx series as a result was moved to Chester and the Cambrian lines.

There are only a few images I could find on the net. Some of them arn't great:
