40 Class B1B-B1B diesel electric

The 40 class DE loco, were introduced to the NSW Railways as the first mainline diesel locomotives in 1954 (date?). 4001 had the honour of pulling the Royal Tour train in 1954 for the visit of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. These locos were known by railway enthusiasts as "38 killers", because they were used to displace the 38 class from the main passenger trains of NSW. The 38s did, however, survive for another 14 years.
