            40132 ambles through Warrington Bank Quay light engine, 30th January 1982. It is approaching the end of its career as it was withdrawn five weeks later with power unit damage.

Locomotive History
40132 was originally D332 and was built by English Electric at their Vulcan Foundry. It is one of twenty Class 40 locomotives to feature the “intermediate” design of nose end, still retaining the gangway doors but fitted with “split” headcode boxes in lieu of discs. This design of nose end was fitted to D325 – D344 and closely resembles the design of the nose end fitted to the first one hundred and eighteen Class 37’s also built by English Electric. Interestingly this design of nose end was superseded on the Class 40 by the final style without gangway doors and fitted with a central 4 character headcode box in 1961 but continued to be fitted to the Class 37’s until D6819 was released into traffic in March 1963. D332 entered traffic in February 1961 allocated to Crewe North MPD. Apart from seven months allocated to Camden in 1961 it would spend its entire career allocated to depots in the North West predominantly at Wigan Springs Branch. It was withdrawn in early March 1982 with power unit damage and eventually broken up by Vic Berry, Leicester during February 1987.
