All Our Yesterdays – 55 Years Ago – September 1964

Diesel locomotive building was being undertaken by British Railways workshops at Derby building class 25’s, Crewe building class 47’s and Swindon building class 14’s. Locomotive contractors were also in production with English Electric building at Vulcan Foundry class 37’s, Beyer Peacock building class 17’s and Brush were building class 47’s at Loughborough.

New locomotives:
Class 14 – D9508/09/10/11/12
Class 17 –D8600/01/02/03/04
Class 25 – D5293/94/95/96/97/98
Class 37 – D6941/42/43/44
Class 47 – D1617/18/19/20/21/22, D1756/57/60/61/62/63/64/66/73

Main line diesel production in the month increased from the previous month to thirty three. Steam withdrawals in the month also increased significantly to three hundred and two locomotives condemned (spread over sixty classes). Large inroads were made into the surviving GWR fleet with one hundred and eighteen locomotives condemned, the surviving LMS 4F 0-6-0 fleet with thirty nine condemned, the surviving LMS Jubilee 4-6-0 fleet with nineteen condemned and a serious start was made on the SR West Country 4-6-2 fleet with eleven condemned. Withdrawals of BR standards also started to become common with thirteen condemned.
