BR Klass 50 - Stor logotyp med grått tak - 50046 'Ajax' - DCC Sound

Detailed Description

Den mäktiga Ajax, son till Telamon, näst efter Akilles i den grekiska krigarhierarkin, jämlike med den trojanske mästaren Hector och även den mest berömda klass 50 som "kom undan", skrotades vid MC Metals, Glasgow, i juni 1992. Den hade donerat sin lågtimmarsmotor till 50007 i december 1991, cirka fem veckor efter att ha kört sitt sista tåg, efter att Sir Edward Elgar hade blivit ur drift på grund av ett huvudgeneratoröverslag nära Basingstoke i juli samma år. Tillbaka till lyckligare dagar hade Laira-baserade 50046 invigts i oktober 1978 efter att Leander-klassen hade byggts 1962. Den inbjöds till Doncaster Works exakt fyra år senare för att delta i renoveringsprogrammet, och blev utkonkurrerad i stor logotypfärg i mars därpå, och har förmodligen aldrig sett bättre ut. Två år senare, i april 1985, fick den återigen målarnas uppmärksamhet, den här gången för att ta hand om sitt hem i Plymouth, inför vänortssamarbetet med HMS Ajax, vilket skulle innebära att den fick den mindre versionen av fartygets vapensköldar. Trots den nyligen genomförda omfattande renoveringen var de fyra takavgasrören i English Electric-designen ökända för att snabbt smutsa ner det vanliga grå taket, vilket ledde till att depån i praktiken gav upp och målade taket svart för att dölja de oljiga avlagringarna. 50046 var bara den andra som behandlades på detta sätt efter 50042 Triumph, även om den senare snabbt återställdes till grått efter ett besök på "fabriken". Laira gav den en fullständig ommålning igen i maj 1987 efter en F-provning, även om den anmärkningsvärt nog inte fick de röda buffertbalkarna som applicerades på liknande renoveringar från början av 1986. Under de närmaste åren skulle den fördelas till paket- och avdelningssektorerna samt NSE:s passagerarpooler på Thames och West of England innan den officiellt pensionerades i mars 1992. Det är värt att notera att båda taxibilarna överlever, nummer 1 slutar hos ägaren Gary Hardings i Cornwall och nummer 2 slutar vid Plym Valley Railway i Devon.
