Class 45

The class 45 or otherwise known as peaks were made at Crewe and Derby works between 1960 and 1963, these machine suffered from bogie problems as well as being a bit underpowred for their bodies.

There were two sub classes

45/1 Dual brake and eletric train heat
There were 66 45/0's and 150 45/1s. These were manly used on freight trains towards the end of their lives before being withdrawn by 1992. Although there are some in preservation. If you have any more information on these, then please e-mail me.
