All Our Yesterdays – 55 Years Ago – September 1963

Diesel and electric locomotive building was in full swing with British Railways workshops at Darlington and Derby building class 25’s, Swindon building class 52 Westerns and Doncaster building class 85 electrics. Locomotive contractors were also in production with English Electric building at Vulcan Foundry and also at the Robert Stephensons and Hawthorn works, Darlington class 37’s, Clayton at Derby were building class 17’s Beyer Peacock building class 35 Hymeks and Brush were building class 47’s at Loughborough.

New locomotives:
Class 17 – D8542/43/44/45/46/47/48
Class 25 – D5220/22/27/28/29, D7568
Class 35 – D7090/91
Class 37 – D6866/67/71/72/73/74/75
Class 47 – D1538/39/40/41/42/43
Class 52 - D1023 Western Fusilier
Class 85 – E3081/91

At the end of the 1963 summer timetable steam withdrawals rocketed to an all time monthly high of two hundred and thirty nine locomotives spread over fifty six classes. Major inroads were made during the month on the larger passenger engines with another West Country and seven A3 Pacifics condemned and seven Castle, eight Hall, three County, nine Stanier Black Five, two Stanier Jubilee, one Fowler Patriot, four Royal Scots, six B16 and no less than twenty seven B1 4-6-0’s condemned and twelve V2 2-6-2’s also condemned. Another major inroad was made into the 2-8-0 freight engines with four Churchward 28xx, one Churchward 47xx, two Robinson 04, nine Austerities and no less than thirty Gresley 02’s condemned.

All Our Yesterdays – 50 Years Ago – September 1968

With first generation diesel locomotive building virtually complete this month would see six Class 50 locomotives delivered.

New Locomotives
Class 50 – D435/37/38/39/40/42

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.

D5659/70/82, D5852

With the main line steam all withdrawn attention now focused on the small or non-standard diesel shunter and the non standard or unreliable main line diesel fleets. Shunter condemnations slightly increased from fourteen to fifteen and main line diesel condemnations jumped from six to thirty seven with eight BTH Class 15’s, six North British Class 16’s, ten North British Class 22’s, one English Electric “Baby Deltic” Class 23 and twelve Metro Vic Class 28’s condemned. At least two of the September withdrawals escaped being broken up, Class 10 shunter D4092 and Metro Vic Class 28 D5705.
