• The British Rail Class 42 number D109 “Champion” departs Somewhere with the “up” express. The class 42 locos were introduced by the Western Region of British Rail, which opted for diesel hydraulic locomotives to replace steam locomotives. The Class 42’s were built under license, as a scaled down version of the German V200 locomotives. They were scaled down to accommodate the smaller loading gauge in the UK.
