Thomas Engine Collection Series ( discontinued).

Hornby ( Re-used Class 37 Diesel tooling labelled as Diesel D261 discontinued).

Interestingly, a few of his face mask were based/inspired from the Illustration from Stepney the "Bluebell" Engine, most notable being his Sad/Speechless face from the third illustration and his Smiling/Content face from the first illustration to some extent.

Class 40 and Derek share the same livery.

His engine sound is shared with BoCo from the fourth- fifth series, as well as Rusty, but only in the fourth series episode, "Rusty to the Rescue".

It is possible that his happy face was either lost or destroyed during or after filming of Thomas and the Magic Railroad. However, his happy face is only on his face references from the fourth series, but not on his face references from the sixth and twelfth series.

Class 40 had a total of six facial expressions, one of which (a cross face) was never shown on-screen.

His horn sound was reused for Mavis in the fourth series episode, Thomas and the Special Letter.

This was likely due to the fact that the manufacturers could not depict him with his correct 1Co-Co1 arrangement.

Class 40's Take 'n' Play model incorrectly depicts him with a Bo-Bo wheel arrangement.

Series 12 production notes call him " Diesel 40".

Series 10 production notes incorrectly call him " Diesel 140".Class 40's television series model is currently on display at Drayton Manor Theme Park and is wearing his sad face.In the Days Out with Thomas events, Class 40 wore Toad's face.His Railway Series number is completely fictional, as no diesel engine ever is known to have worn this number.His Hornby model depicts him as a Class 37 diesel which still has an inaccurate number for a locomotive of this type.In the magazine story Platform Picture, he is referred to as " Derek the Diesel".Class 40's nameboard sequence has only appeared in Cranky Bugs and Other Thomas Stories and in the airings of Bowled Out in Japan.According to some VHS descriptions for the fourth series episode Bowled Out, Class 40 was brought to Sodor to take over Daisy's work while she was ill.Class 40 is called " Diesel 261" in Japan.Class 40's enclosed warning yellow panel in the Railway Series is somewhat inspired by the actual D261's early livery as shown here.Class 40's Railway Series livery is slightly inaccurate as none of the Class 40 diesels received British Railways two-tone green livery.It was repainted into the BR Rail Blue livery and renumbered to 40 061 until the engine was withdrawn from service in 1983 and scrapped at Crewe in March the following year. The real D261 entered service on the 26th of February 1960 and in 1973. Seven Class 40s are preserved with the first built, D200, at the National Railway Museum.Ĭlass 40's television series number belonged to a real Class 40. They where given the nickname "Whistlers" because of the strange whistling noise their engines would make. 200 members of this class was built from 1958 to 1962, and the last was withdrawn in 1985. Old Stuck-Up and D782 are also members of this class. Despite this, in the magazine stories, there are some occasions in which the Diesel is polite and helps out the steam engines.Ĭlass 40 is based on a British Rail (BR) Class 40 1Co-Co1. While everyone was fare-welling Stepney, a disgraced Class 40 crept away, leaving behind "a rather nasty smell of bad manners and a battered bowler hat".Ĭlass 40 is snobbish and rude with his snide remarks, believing that diesel engines are superior and should take over from steam engines. He sulked in the shed while Duck and Stepney took the Express for him to Cronk ( Crovan's Gate in the television series). He got his comeuppance when an inspector's bowler hat jammed his air intake, causing him to break down and to become as sick as boiler sludge. Class 40 was sent to Sodor in 1962 to assist the engines with goods and express work towards the end of Stepney's visit, but he only insulted the other engines by saying they were out-of-date, should be scrapped and bragged about his modernity. Class 40 was built at the Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire, England.
