	Class 40 Story
		Class 40's became the preferred locos for use with the Royal Train from the late 1960's until 1977, when the train was replaced with an air conditioned set requiring electric train heating.
		In front of the loco are representatives of British Rail Intercity and the NRM, with the driver and secondman from the final stage of the railtour.
		Thankfully, the Class 40 preservation story was well underway before the end of their main line career.

	British Rail Class 85 - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The British Rail Class 85 is an electric locomotive built during the early 1960s, as part of BR's policy to develop a standard electric locomotive.
		Five protype classes (81-85) were built and evaluated, which eventually led to the development of the Class 86 locomotive.
		The class were used to haul trains on the then newly electrified West Coast Main Line, from Birmingham, to Crewe, Manchester Piccadilly, Liverpool and later Preston.

	British Rail Class 43 (Warship Class) - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The British Rail Class 43 diesel-hydraulic locomotives were built by the North British Locomotive Company from 1960-1962.
		The D800 series diesel-hydraulic 'Warship Class', of B-B wheel arrangement, was constructed by two different builders.
		Like most NBL designs, these locomotives were not very successful, and were withdrawn before their Class 42 sisters, themselves doomed to a short life because of the decision to standardise on diesel-electric transmission for mainline locomotives.

	Definition of British Rail Class 97
		British Rail reserved the TOPS Class 97 designation for departmental locomotives, which were used for special or engineering duties.
		Three former Class 25 locomotives were converted for use as mobile generators to provide electric heating on trains where the hauling locomotive could not supply this.
		These four locomotives were renumbered from Class 40 locomotives, which had all recently been withdrawn from normal traffic.

	British Rail Class 42 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		British Railways' (BR) Type 4 "Warship" class diesel-hydraulic locomotives were introduced in 1958.
		The Western Region of British Railways had decided upon hydraulic transmission with lightweight alloy construction for its new diesel locomotives to replace "King" and "Castle" class steam locomotives.
		D800 was named Sir Brian Robertson after the Chairman of the British Transport Commission at the time; Robertson was reportedly very concerned that the BTC should not be seen to stifle innovation at Regional levels within BR and this policy was very likely a major boost to the WR's aspirations for a full diesel-hydraulic fleet.

		British Railways Class 505 were 1,500 V DC electric multiple units (EMUs) introduced in 1931 by the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJAR).
		Although assigned to TOPS Class 505 by British Railways, these units were withdrawn before the TOPS numbering system came into common use for multiple units, and the Class 505 designation is very rarely used.
		The third class compartments were later re-classified as second class by British Railways in 1957.

	Pension Arbitration Trumped by Class Proceeding Legislation (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Class action legislation requires the court to certify a proceeding as a class proceeding if certain statutory requirements are met.
		In order to resolve the statutory conflict, the British Columbia Court of Appeal ruled that where a court finds that a class proceeding must be certified by meeting the statutory test set out in the applicable legislation the court must find that the arbitration agreement is ‘inoperative’.
		In essence, the British Columbia Court of Appeal in Mackinnon resolved the statutory conflict by requiring a court to weigh the circumstances of each case to determine whether a class proceeding or arbitration is the preferable procedure.

	BUSTER (FILM) : Encyclopedia Entry
		It tells a romanticised version of the true story of the Great Train Robbery of 1963, focusing more on the character of train robber Buster Edwards and his subsequent flight from justice than on the robbery itself.
		The robbery scenes were filmed on the Great Central Railway, using British Rail Class 40, D306, as a stand-in for D326 which was actually involved.
		Several hit singles were released from the film by Collins, including "Groovy Kind of Love" and "Two Hearts", which reached #1 and #6 on the UK Singles Chart respectively.

	Green TOPS - The Definitive List?
		Class 08 withdrawals proper had begun in 1972 with a few early members, the vast majority of the class survived long enough to be allocated TOPS numbers but a few did bite the dust before actually receiving one.
		Not many Class 24s lasted long enough to run in green after renumbering, most probably due to the fact that they were falling due for overhaul in the early days of Rail Blue and most passed through Derby in the late 1960s and early ‘70s.
		A similar situation to the Class 20 existed with the 47s, they were still under construction when Rail Blue was introduced and nos.1953-61 (not numerically the last but the last to be constructed) entered service in that colour scheme, never appearing in green.

		In fact it was one of these class of engines, the Mallard that set the former world rail speed record of 126mph (202 km/h) in 1938, and still remains the steam world speed record today.
		Only one engine of this class was ever built which survives today and was built in 1954 as an express train engine, however the steam era was coming to an end which is probably why the class didn't flourish.
		Although this class of DMU is becoming dated compared to the much more modern 166 class, there are still thousands in operation all over the UK, and being a DMU the trains can be of any length, sometimes just one car, sometimes 12 cars.
