They were a development of the Class 44 and, together with the Class 46, the three classes were collectively known as the ‘Peaks’. As built the entire class was fitted with multiple-working equipment and steam-heat boilers but some later had their boilers removed and were fitted with electric train heating (ETH). With the implementation of TOPS in 1971, the steam-heat locos were designated Class 45\/0 and the ETH fitted examples became 45\/1s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1975, during works visits the locomotives began to have their head-code equipment removed and this was replaced with sheet metal and two sealed beam marker lights and it is in this condition that our Class 45\/0s are modelled. Although withdrawals of the Class 45 fleet began in the early-1980s, the particular locomotives selected for these models were some of the longest surviving examples, the first of which was not withdrawn until July 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is available to order through Bachmann Retailers in the follwoing areass: Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Derbyshire, East Riding of Yorkshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, The town of Milton Keynes, Norfolk, Nottinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Rutland, South Yorkshire and Suffolk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55887314059648,"sku":"BAC-32-685SDSF-PO","price":189.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/products\/IMG_839032-685sda.jpg?v=1615390055","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/pre-owned-class-45-0-no-45041-royal-tank-regiment-br-blue-diesel-locomotive-dcc-sound-regional-exclusive","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
