D3399 information

Hi,
Whilst searching through various old photographs my Wife found a picture of her and her Grandad posing in front of shunter numbered D3399.

Her Grandad was a train driver and the picture was taken in the Northwich area sometime in the 60’s.

Just wondering if anybody know’s any history about this loco or has any photographs they could share as it would be nice to know?

Mark
