40103 had been at the works for sometime arriving at

the end of July showing as requiring crankcase repairs. This was obviously a low priority as these repairs did not get completed until November with it being released back in traffic at this time. However, things did not go well as it was back again in February with coolant leaks. It survived in service for another year being stored at Allerton for some months before being towed to Crewe for the final time for breaking up, a task largely complete by the summer of 1983. 47464 stands in front of the 40 awaiting repairs. Having been a Western Region locomotive, it moved north of the border from the summer of 1976. It met an ignominious end being front-ended by 37416 that been sent to rescue it with it having failed near to Elgin. Like the class 40, 47464 was returned to Crewe and broken up in 1987.
