All Our Yesterdays – 55 Years Ago – February 1963

Although all the diesel shunter orders had been delivered main line diesel and electric locomotive building was still in full swing with British Railways workshops with Doncaster building class 85 electrics, Derby building class 25 and class 52 Westerns being built at Crewe and Swindon. 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, Beyer Peacock at Manchester were building class 35 Hymek’s and Brush were building class 47’s at Loughborough.

New locomotives:
Class 25 – D5177/78/79/80
Class 35 – D7067/68/69
Class 37 – D6792/93, D6809/10/11/12/13/14/15
Class 47 – D1509/10/11
Class 52 – D1016 Western Gladiator, D1047 Western Lord, D1052 Western Viceroy, D1053 Western Patriarch
Class 85 – E3088

After the massive attack on the steam fleet at the end of 1962 the early months of 1963 remained relatively quite with only 60 withdrawals spread over 28 classes this month. Two of those withdrawals still survive today, Great Western Railway 2-8-0T 5227 and 0-6-0PT 5775.

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 – February 1968

With first generation diesel locomotive building virtually complete this month would see the final four locomotives from the final batch of Class 20’s and another Class 50 delivered.

New Locomotives
Class 20 – D8324/25/26/27
Class 50 – D410

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.

D5558/82, D5839/60

Steam withdrawals in the month decreased from thirty one to twenty. With the dwindling steam fleet being made up of Stanier Black Fives, Stanier 8F’s and BR Standards these types would now form the basis of the monthly withdrawals. The slaughter of the small or non-standard diesel shunter fleet continued with renewed vigour with thirty three locomotives condemned. The pause in the non standard or unreliable main line diesel fleet condemnations continued this month with just one locomotive condemned.
