It appears they scrapped some diesels also, as seen in this 1975 photo:

Built NBL (27852/1959). Power unit NBL/MAN L12V18/21, 1100hp (later derated to 1000hp). Weight 73 tons, max speed 75mph. Withdrawn December 1971. Scrapped June 1980.

basically one of the less than successful early BR diesel classes.

"BR Locomotive Numbering"
subtitled "All Diesel & Electric Locomoitves operated by BR"
Colin J. Marsden

1984
ISBN 0 7110 1445 0

It is a paperback and I bought it secondhand (£2) because I didn't have any diesel books when doing some research into Hunslet works numbers.
