Awright, the last of the 74 Westerns (the numbering started at 1000):
And this for @MarquisMatsugae, this is D1046 Western Marquis.
..... Except it isn't, 1046 was scrapped in the 1970s along with all but 6 of them, so, what is it??
This is actually D1015 Western Champion, the last to be preserved in 1979, and after a rebuilt lasting over 20 years, is now the only one of the class that is certified to run on the mainline.
It has also ran in the guise of other 'fallen' comrades before like D1032 and 1070 'Western Gauntlet' (what a cool name!).
It is is seen here at Paddington:
