40137 (unofficially named Trojan), 40146 & D818 'Glory' stand outside the impressive backdrop of Swindon Works on Sun 16th August 1981.
40137 was withdrawn in January 1981 and was cut in December 1981, whilst sister loco 40146 was withdrawn in October 1980, but not cut until December 1983, after being stored as 'serviceable'.
The Warship had been withdrawn in November 1972 and was repainted from BR Blur to Green for a works open day. However, the loco was missing many parts and it's condition deteriorated until it was cut up in October 1985..
