To my mind the biggest gap is Falcon, as she was a prototype in the development of the class 47, and she came soooo close to being preserved.

Although I always was a fan of Falcon, I dont think she was a prototype of the class 47...she looked a bit similar but was more like a diesel electric version of a Western....I think Lion (albeit a BRCW produst) was more in the 47 mould as she had a Sulzer engine but I guess the true forebear of the 47 was the 46.....
