All Our Yesterdays – 60 Years Ago –July 1959

Sixty years ago the last 9F 2-10-0 Standard class steam locomotives were still in production (although non delivered in this month), diesel shunter production was in full swing as was the final deliveries of the Pilot Scheme and the early deliveries of the production series of mainline locomotives. There was also a steady flow of new diesel multiple units.

New Locomotives
Class 03 – D2062/63/64/88, D2114
Class 04 – D2274/75
Class 08 – D3709/46/47/48/74/75/76/77, D3843/44
Class 21 – D6120
Class 24 – D5019/32
Class 26 – D5332/33/34/35
Class 28 – D5718
Class 30 – D5538/39/40/41/42/43
Class 40 – D218/19/20/21/22
Class 42 – D808
Class 71 – E5008

New Diesel Multiple Units
Metro Cammell (Class 102) –Sc51456/57/58/59, Sc51526/27/28/29, Sc59554/55/56/57
BR Derby (Class 108) – M50970/71/72/73/74, M56253/54/55/56/57
Gloucester RCW (Class 119) – W51071/72/99, W51100, W59430/31
BR Swindon Inter City (Class 126) – Sc59397/98, Sc59406/07
BR Derby (Class 127) –M51601/02/03/04, M59594/95, M59624/25

In the month seventy nine steam locomotives were withdrawn, twenty three being over fifty years old with Midland Railway Johnson 1F 0-6-0T 41661 being the oldest, having entering traffic in June 1878 and condemned eighty 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. Twenty nine engines condemned were built post the 1923 grouping and rather surprisingly given the still large numbers of elderly steam engines in service two modern Great Western Railway 94xx 0-6-0PT’s built after nationalisation were condemned. The youngest 94xx condemned being 8432 which was just six 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 – 55 Years Ago – July 1964

Locomotive building was being undertaken by British Railways workshops at Darlington and Derby building class 25’s, Crewe building class 47’s, Doncaster building class 85’s and Swindon commenced delivery of class 14’s. Locomotive contractors were also in production with Beyer Peacock at Gorton building class 17’s and Brush were building class 47’s at Loughborough.

New locomotives:
Class 14 – D9500/01/02/03
Class 17 – D8591/94/95/96/97
Class 25 – D5282/83/84/85/86/87/88, D7596
Class 47 – D1601/02/03/04/05/06/07/08, D1745/46/47/48/49/50/51/52/53
Class 85 – E3085

Doncaster works was undertaking the replacement of the unreliable Mirrlees JVS12T 1250bhp engine in the Brush Type 2 fleet with a 1470bhp English Electric 12SVT engine with the following being completed this month;

D5841

Main line diesel production in the month increased from the previous month to thirty four including Swindon commencing delivery of Class 14’s. Steam withdrawals in the month decreased to one hundred and sixty five condemned (spread over forty nine classes), although three locomotives were subsequently reinstated. The Beeching era branch line closures continued to be felt by the locomotive fleet with another thirty 2-6-2T or 2-6-4T tank engine condemnations which included ten BR Standards and thirty four 0-6-0PT Pannier tanks. In addition to the ten BR Standard 2-6-4T’s condemned another four BR standards were withdrawn including class 4, 2-6-0 76097 which was less than seven years old. At least one steam locomotive withdrawn in July 1964 survived being broken up Hawkesworth Pannier tank 9466.
