Locomotive 60040 was built by Brush Traction for British Rail in February 1992, and one of the 100 members of the class. The entire Class 60 fleet became the property of English Welsh & Scottish (EWS) following the privatisation of British Rail during the mid-1990s. In November 2010, EWS's successor, DB Schenker, announced that a portion of the fleet would be overhauled, referring to such units as Super 60s and extending their service life through to around 2025.
60040 operates from Toton TMD in Nottinghamshire, she was originally named ‘Brecon Beacons’ between February 1992 and July 1996.
After gaining the DB Schenker maroon livery she was named ‘The Territorial Army Centenary” along with a Union flag motif in June 2008 and was unveiled at the National Railway Museum, it is this condition that the KMRC Exclusive model represents.
