50040 (D440) 'Leviathan'

Disposal Details : Sold to Sims Metals, Halesowen and cut up 30/6/08
Last Owner : Privately Owned
Notes: After withdrawal 50040 moved to Booths scrapyard in Rotherham and was initially earmarked to be part of the ill fated 'Operation Collingwood' scheme. The loco was later purchased privately and moved to the Coventry Railway Centre. No work was carried out on the loco and it changed ownership more than once during its time here. The deteriorating hulk was stripped for remaining parts in 2008 and sent for scrap.
