Class 45 45041
45041 Crossing Wansford Bridge 45041 is a 1-Co Co-1 wheel arrangement Diesel Electric loco built a Crewe Works in 1962 weighing in at 133 tonnes. The loco was originally based at Derby hauling passenger services on The Midland Mainline as D53. In 1964 the loco was named Royal Tank Regiment, a name it still holds to this day as was later renumbered in 1975. 45041 was used predominantly on freight trains during the 1980s as it was not one of the Class 45s that were selected to be converted to supply electric train heat. Unfortunately, the loco suffered a traction motor problem in 1988 and the loco was condemned. The loco was bought by the Peak Locomotive Society in 1996 and has been based at the NVR since – and can be regularly seen hauling passenger services.
