Trivia / The Railway Series B 23 Enterprising Engines

• Technology Marches On: As stated on the main page, this book more than the others highlighted the end of steam on the Other Railway. Ironically, the directive to eliminate "non-standard" locomotive designs in the National Traction Plan published around the same time as this book meant that Bear was also about to become a victim of this trope. By the 1980s, the same had happened to the Class 46 "Peak" model that D199 was a member of, of which only three remain in preservation.
