All Our Yesterdays – 60 Years Ago –October 1957

Sixty years ago Standard class steam locomotives were still in production with ten locomotives delivered in the month. Diesel shunter production was progressing at a steady rate with nineteen locomotives delivered in the month and the pilot series diesels had commenced delivery with the first Brush Type 2 delivered. There was also an increasing flow of new diesel multiple units.

New Locomotives
Standard Class 3MT 2-6-0 – 76098, 76113/14
Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 – 92149/50/51/52/53/54/79
Class D2/10 – 11715/16/17/18 (D2715/16/17/18)
Class 05 – 11174 (D2571)

BR Eastleigh 2H (Class 205) – 1114/15/16/17/18

In the month seventy two steam locomotives were withdrawn, thirty nine being over fifty years old with Midland Railway Johnson 2F Class 0-6-0 58136 being the oldest, having been built by Dubs and Co, entering traffic in May 1875 and condemned eighty two years later. The majority of these withdrawals were the older main line secondary and branch line passenger engines and old freight engines who were at the bottom of the cascade of power from the continued delivery of the Standards and Diesel Multiple Units. Eleven locomotives condemned were built post the 1923 grouping, however only six could be considered as a post grouping design.

A number of the above were photographed later in life and can be found in this collection. As always feedback and comments welcome

All Our Yesterdays – 50 Years Ago – October 1967

After four consecutive months of no new locomotives entering traffic the final batches of locomotives started to be delivered. This month would see the final batch of Class 20’s and the first Class 50 delivered from the English Electric Vulcan Foundry

New Locomotives
Class 20 – D8323
Class 50 – D400

The next ten years or so will be dominated by a mix of locomotive modifications and the withdrawal of the more un-successful or “non standard” types. The main programme of modification this month was Doncaster Works undertaking replacement of the unreliable Mirrlees JVS12T 1250bhp engine in the Brush Type 2 fleet with a 1470bhp English Electric 12SVT engine.

D5551/98, D5607/28/66, D5830/31/37/54

Steam withdrawals in the month decreased from one hundred and sixty seven to one hundred and nineteen. With the bulk of the remaining steam fleet being made up of Stanier Black Fives, Stanier 8F’s and BR Standards it was to be expected that withdrawals of these types would now form a significant element of the monthly withdrawals. In August fifty Black Fives, twenty 8F’s and twenty two BR Standards were condemned. The slaughter of the small or non-standard diesel shunter fleet continued with twenty locomotives condemned. Also condemned were two accident victims Class 40 D322 and English Electric prototype DP2. At least three of the steam withdrawals survived breaking up and entered preservation.
