All Our Yesterdays – 55 Years Ago – February 1964

Diesel and electric locomotive building was in full swing with British Railways workshops at Darlington and Derby building class 25’s, Swindon class 52 Westerns and Crewe building class 47’s. 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 – D8575/76/77
Class 25 – D5248/49/50/51/52/53/54, D7584/85/86
Class 35 – D7100
Class 37 – D6892/93, D6923/25/26/27/28/29
Class 47 – D1555/56/57/58, D1714/15/16/17/18/19
Class 52 – D1028 Western Hussar
Class 85 – E3092

Main line diesel production in the month dropped from over fifty locomotives in January to thirty five. Steam withdrawals in the month also showed a marked decline from the preceding month and at only one hundred and ten locomotives condemned (spread over forty two classes) was about a third of the monthly totals at the end of 1963. However the withdrawals included six BR Standard class locomotives, class 5 4-6-0 73094, class 2 2-6-0 78009, class 3 2-6-2T’s 82002/08/43 and class 9F 2-10-0 92223. Unsurprisingly 73094 and 92223 were later reinstated but it really signalled that the end of steam traction was fast approaching and nothing was beyond condemnation. It was also a bad month for Austerity 2-8-0s with eleven condemned and Stanier Black Five 4-6-0s with nine condemned. Two Stanier Coronation Pacifics were also withdrawn in this month 46229 Duchess of Hamilton and 46233 Duchess of Sutherland however both escaped being broken up and still survive today.

Interesting about 92223's ridiculously premature withdrawal. It was a Western Region engine, the WR being the most advanced at culling steam locos, and had been the Lickey banker. Clearly the repairs required which precipitated withdrawal were approved and the loco ended up on the London Midland region. In fact, it was one of the few 9Fs which made it through into 1968. Having said that the new Clayton class 17s hardly lasted much longer!
