40186 stands at Crewe Station with an up tanker train. Personally, I didn't think that the full sized headcode panelled 40s looked great. I preferred the split box ones or, even better the ones with discs. 40186 survived in traffic until December 1983 being broken up at BREL Doncaster. Notice the vintage parcel trolleys scattered around the platform end; great for sitting on to do some serious spotting whilst eating a cheese and pickle sandwich from your Gola bag!
