I have added a new collection of photos featuring the B.R. Western Region class 41 Warships built by NBL co.
Including this photo of D600 Active with Gas Turbine 18000 seen behind it at Swindon works
https://railway-photography.smugmug.com/WorldSteam-1/Type-4-Class-40-52/-Warship-class-41/i-fJCbGdc

D600 and D601 were sold to Woodham Brothers scrapyard in Barry, South Wales. D600 was broken up within a couple of years but D601 remained intact until 1980. Preservation for D601 was denied on the ground that it was too far gone to be restored to operational condition and was not considered to be worth preserving for display only. The last Class 41 unit was broken up at Barry Scrapyard, while D602-D604 were sold to Cashmore's of Newport who broke them up far sooner due to the former concentrating on easily processable wagons before locomotives. As the fleet only lasted eight years in revenue-earning service, D601 actually spent more time in the scrapyard than it did hauling trains on the main line.

D818 Glory a long time resident at Swindon D818 became a "pet" of the employees of Swindon Works and was repainted from Rail Blue with full yellow ends back into its original green livery. There was hope it would eventually be preserved but it was scrapped before the works closed in 1985.
