Unbuilt Locomotives
A further 15 'Clans' was projected, but due to an acute shortage of steel, the order was frequently postponed until the advent of the British Railways Modernisation Plan, which led to the order being cancelled. Five of the new locomotives were expected to operate on the Southern Region, and as such, a change in naming style was undertaken with the next five in series. The final ten reverted back to Scottish Region parlance. The projected names were selected as thus:
Southern Region.
72010 Hengist, 72011 Horsa, 72012 Canute, 72013 Wildfire, 72014 Firebrand.
Scottish Region.
72015 Clan Colquhoun, 72016 Clan Graham, 72017 Clan MacDougall, 72018 Clan MacLean, 72019 Clan Douglas, 72020 Clan Gordon, 72021 Clan Hamilton, 72022 Clan Kennedy, 72023 Clan Lindsay, 72024 Clan Scott.

“The flower-fed buffaloes of the spring
In the days of long ago,
Ranged where the locomotives sing
And the prairie flowers lie low:—”
