948704 Rapido Trains UK Class 46 46026 “Leicestershire and Derbyshire Yeomanry” BR Blue With Headcode Blinds – DCC Sound Fitted aircraft Diecast metal gearboxesWith the success of the first Type 4 diesels, Derby Works began the development of the next generation of even more powerful locomotives, the Class 45 and Class 46. These would go on to form the bulk of the Midland mainline fleet for many years. The 45s and 46s were not named after mountains as their Class 44 counterparts had been, though whilst many were honoured with the names of famed British Army Regiments, they still retained the nickname Peaks.
