All Our Yesterdays – 60 Years Ago –May 1958

60 years ago the last 9F 2-10-0 Standard class steam locomotives were still in production, diesel shunter production was in full swing and the Pilot Scheme mainline diesels were being delivered. There was also a steady flow of new diesel multiple units.

New Locomotives

BR Eastleigh 6L (Class 202) – 1035/36/37

In the month seventy three steam locomotives were withdrawn, forty four being over fifty years old with North Eastern Railway J77 0-6-0T 68402 being the oldest, having entering traffic in June 1875 and condemned eighty two years later. The majority of these withdrawals were the older secondary main line and branch line passenger engines, steam shunting engines and older freight engines being displaced by the continued delivery of the last of the 9F standards, the pilot scheme main line diesels, diesel multiple units and diesel shunting engines. Fourteen engines condemned were built post the 1923 grouping with the youngest engine condemned being Great Western Railway 0-4-2T 1461 at twenty two years old.

A number I have photographed later in life and can be found in this collection. As always feedback and comments welcome

All Our Yesterdays – 50 Years Ago – May 1968

With first generation diesel locomotive building virtually complete this month would see the final Class 47 and five Class 50 locomotives delivered.

New Locomotives
Class 47 – D1961
Class 50 – D421/22/23/24/25

The next nine 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.

D5506/26/73/78/79/89/92, D5619/39

Steam withdrawals in the month increased from twenty nine to fifty five. The slaughter of the small or non-standard diesel shunter fleet increased again from twelve locomotives condemned to twenty four with twenty one being Class 03’s. The non standard or unreliable main line diesel fleet condemnations significantly decreased from thirty seven to just seven with five more Class 22 locomotives condemned. and a start made on the Class 28 Metro-Vick Co-Bo’s with two condemned.

Interesting that this era was in some ways the dawn of the railway "as I first remembered it". I didn't use the railways until around 1982 and didn't get a lot of exposure to inter-city routes until 1983/84, but several features of the railway as I fondly remembered it in the early-mid 80s were being introduced in 1978 - the HSTs and the classic names for the 50s and 87s.
