In the month fifty nine steam locomotives were withdrawn, thirty two being over fifty years old with North Eastern Railway J77 0-6-0T 68424 being the oldest, having entering traffic in March 1879 and condemned seventy nine 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. Thirteen engines condemned were built post the 1923 grouping with the youngest engine condemned being London and North Eastern Railway B17 4-6-0 61667 at twenty one years old.

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