The king is dead, long live the king!
Another great class of British Rail locomotives heads for that Traction Maintenance Depot in the sky ... we refer, of course to the Class 40s, variously known as Whistlers, English Electric Type 4s, Bombs, Buckets or perhaps half a dozen other names. Now the class is down to just the famous original D200, alias 40.122, and two others, presumably kept as a back-up for D200 should the old green lady herself be unavailable for rail tour duty. We record the dying days of the class in these pages with, we hope, fitting solemnity.

But enough of this mourning. Let us remember that all is not gloom and doom, but that there is hope for the modern basher. Foster Yeoman, the Mendips-based stone company, has ordered four new American locos for use on BR metals. BR is devising a new class, designated 91, for express passenger duty— and new freight classes are in the offing too. So, there's plenty of variety to look forward to in the future loco scene, and the worry of a few years ago that standardisation might kill off any interest in copping looks as if it will not be fulfilled. BR's interest in the Class 89 has cooled even before the prototype is finished — so it looks as if 89.001 could well be the Kesfre/forthe gricerofthe 90s!
