Scottish Army Regiments?
Correct as far as it goes, but not quite specific enough.Scottish Army Regiments?
Well, yes, if you take a broad meaning of Lowland (I was going to say Central Scotland), but there is still another (military) point to find.Scottish Lowland Regiments?

No, but there is a clue in the names of three of them, if you have a bit of military knowledge.Were they all named after Fusiliers?
(not very up on this aspect of military stuff to be honest)

I won’t let this one run too long, as D6130 has already got most of the answer, and will reveal the final detail tomorrow lunchtime if nobody gets it first.
Basically, yes. The four regiments were all territorial ones based in central Scotland: three of them included the word Yeomanry in their title. D6130 got most of the answer, so gets to set the next question.Volunteer Regiments?
I'm happy to let @D1537 set the next one, as my WiFi connection here in Italy is very erratic and I may not be able to post for a week or more.Basically, yes.

40122?
I’m thinking a class 47 but I’m not sure which one. 47522 maybe?
Not 522, though that one was indeed repaired from severe damage in 1982 after the Forteviot accident, though it spent "only" just over a year in Crewe.

Much closer. Clue - it was hauling a sleeper train when it sustained its accident damage in a quite notorious incident.OK. Going on the clues that you’ve left I think it’s between a 31 and a 47?
I’m going to spin (and possibly win) with 47457..?

I think it was 47452 that was damaged at Morpeth then?
And that's correct! Entered Crewe Works in July 84 and emerged in October 86. Apparently the "we've spent X amount on it already, we can't scrap it now" idea set in, and it ended up costing round £250,000. Being a 47/4, it was quite funny the number of bashers that turned up for its first workings because of course anyone who'd taken up the hobby in the last 2+ years would have needed it. It then lasted less than 5 years, being withdrawn in August 1991.
Correct. Four more to go...'City of Truro' is one.
Bristol, Cardiff and Oxford are all correct. The missing answer is Hereford .For sure:
Bristol
Cardiff
Oxford
Possibly:
Worcester
Flush at No.1 end only - No.2 end wasn't actually that badly damaged.Interesting stuff. I managed at least a couple of runs behind it in 1988 and I can’t remember but did it have flush headcodes at both ends?
