Locomotive History
Originally D207 it entered traffic on the 9th July 1958. British Railways originally ordered ten class 40s, then known as "English Electric Type 4’s”, as evaluation prototypes. They were built at the Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire. The first locomotive, D200, was delivered in March 1958 and made its passenger debut on an express train from London Liverpool Street to Norwich on 18 April 1958. The first five locomotives D200-D204, were trailed on similar services on the former Great Eastern routes from Liverpool Street, whilst the remaining five. D205-D209 were allocated to Hornsey and worked on former Great Northern services out of Kings Cross to Sheffield, Newcastle and Edinburgh, covering such famous named trains as the "Flying Scotsman" and the "Master Cutler". The 1st November 1958 proved to be a poor day when D207 failed at Kings Cross on the down Flying Scotsman, it was replaced by D208, which failed later in the journey with traction motor problems. However the first year's running figures showed GER and GNR availability at 71.5% and 79% respectively which is not that poor when considering that in 1958 British Railways were still organised as a steam railway with virtually no specific diesel locomotive facilities. By October 1961 the Hornsey fleet of class 40’s were displaced by the Deltics and moved to Stratford. From January 1965 the new, more powerful class 47’s took over prime Great Eastern passenger services, and the class 40's were eventually transferred away in August 1967, to serve on secondary and freight duties in the North West. 40007 was fitted with dual train brakes during a classified repair at Crewe works in January 1975 which would help its survival when the run down of the class 40 fleet commenced in 1976. After over twenty six years service 40007 was withdrawn in February 1983 following damage sustained in a derailment at Llandudno Junction and broken up in January 1984 at Doncaster works.

The 7th of November 1982 at Kings Cross. Class 40 40007 is waiting to leave with the 22.45 Newspaper Service to Newcastle.
The loco was new as D207 and was one of the original pilot scheme Class 40's. By pure chance I added a photo of it entering Kings Cross on the 23rd of July 1958 when the loco was 10 days old to the stream last week.
I think the loco was allocated to Healey Mills at this time and it was withdrawn three months after this photo was taken after suffering derailment damage at Llandudno Junction.

A few Tridents retain their "WSX" plates which were applied when they were in the Wessex unit of Rotala in Bristol. It had been new to London United as LG02 FDV, but now looks a few years older !
