[edit] Post-NBR
The locomotives passed to the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) in 1923 and, 30 of them, to British Railways (BR) in 1948. BR numbers were 62467-62498 (with gaps).
[edit] Preservation
Withdrawals began in 1946 and all the D34s had been withdrawn by 1961. One, 256 Glen Douglas (BR number 62469) has been preserved by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society.
