Diesel prototype 1 deltic nearly went to Canada they were meant to take the loco there to do further trials but they decided against it thanks to a leakage in one of the engines

And as for 55008 and 55021 both of the cabs of the locos have also survived but on display just like the prototype deltic

I remember as a boy watching BR trains from the footbridge just past West Ealing Station during the same period, and every now and then you’d see one of these Westerns barreling down at speed heading west. The pressure wave generated by the trains as they passed under the bridge would flap the corrugated steel fence to the delight of me and my friends as we sat perched on our bikes. What great memories!

A bloody waste of a good class when we lost these beautiful locos 👿 I travelled many miles behind these from Oxford! Those Maybachs sounded amazing! I was lucky enough to drive 1062 Western Courier on the Severn Valley railway once! The Westerns had YEARS of life left in them but BR just let them DIE😡 the poor things looked so rough when they got to the end before they were scrapped WHY?

The arrival of the Inter City 125 High Speed Trains in October 1976 led to the Class 52 Westerns to retire gracefully even though they only entered service in the early 1960s.

The lack of ETH for the MK2 stock and the arrival of the 50's in conjunction with the 47's had a greater effect on their withdrawal.
