    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

Lost my mates for a while cos I just stopped to admire the lines and design and beauty of this machine , probably the most handsome, of all the BR designs. Later that day we did reading and back behind a western (platform ticket only). Great

    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.

    Must have been earlier since it was withdrawn 1976, i saw it at Bristol Temple Meads that summer working on one engine only. Managed to spot 14 all together that year - my first as a spotter, best was 1022 amazingly just south of Leicester.

    After an awful start to the railtour with 112's ETS tripping out every so often, the fitters did a great job after Droitwich to get her going well enough to abandon the rescue duff at Temple Meads and go it alone.
