They were named after British mountains, and consequently nicknamed ‘Peaks’. Their 16-wheel 1Co-Co1 wheel arrangement became idiosyncratic in later years.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eInspired by LMS prototypes Nos. 10000 and 10001, and by Southern Railway Nos. 10201-10203, the Class 44 diesels were some of the first large diesel locomotives commissioned for the British Rail modernisation project and were the precursors to the Class 45 and Class 46 locomotives of similar design. Ten locomotives were built to the Class 44 design, with a number of differences across the fleet.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen introduced, the locomotives were fitted with multi-unit working and steam heating boilers for passenger service. They worked regularly over the West Coast Main Line for a couple of years, and also between London St Pancras and Manchester Exchange over the Peak main line. Once the Class 45 units were available, their steam heating boilers were removed and the Class 44 locomotives were assigned to freight duties. They mostly operated in the East Midlands, with services centred on or radiating from Toton – to which all ten locomotives were allocated in March 1974. Withdrawals began in 1976 and the last taken out of service in 1980 but two have been preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56355931423100,"sku":"32-652A","price":161.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/3048\/7164\/files\/WEB_20240530_20BACHMANN_2032-652A_2_92e03c41-c4ad-4bac-823f-1209252479aa.jpg?v=1786091794","url":"https:\/\/www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com\/products\/32-652a-bachmann-class-44-disc-headcode-44007-ingleborough","provider":"Kernow Model Rail Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
