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).
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Withdrawals began in 1946 and all the D34s had been withdrawn by 1961.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.
