Question

Great Train Robbery...What happened to the engine that was pulling the train?

Answer 1

which train and which robbery.  i can go the tain a block away and rob it and it could be great.

Answer 2

a more relevant question would have been "what happened to the driver of the train(who they beat up)"

well he died 1 year and several months after the offence,of his received injuries,,

but the law stated that someone must die within 1 yr and 1 day before they could be tried for murder after the offence was committed.

and currently if you wish to kill the entire English population(while being paid £50,ooo by soc/servs) you get 14 months in jail,,,,heres your question "do u think the Great Train Robbers were hard done by?"

Answer 8

It was decoupled from the rest of the train and driven 200 metres down the track while the mail van was robbed.

If you mean where is it now, I don't know.

Answer 9

Well he met a female train with very loose morals and he said "I think I can, I think I can" and they had a whole litter of  Gandy Dancers out of wedlock and they lived in sin happily ever after. Well that is until Immigration caught up with him and sent him back to Siberia.

Answer 10

The locomotive (D326) that was hauling the mail train involved in the robbery, was impounded by Police for over 18 months as evidence.

The locomotive became  40 126  under the British Rail TOPS numbering scheme in the 1970s.

She ran until 1984, when she was withdrawn from service with BR. The locomotive was taken to Doncaster works (The Plant), where she was very quickly cut up for scrap (to stop souvenir hunters stealing "gory" mementos).

Answer 11

British Rail continued to use D326 (40 126) as it became until the early 80's, then it was withdrawn from service and stripped for spare parts before being cut up for scrap.
