All Our Yesterdays – 60 Years Ago –May 1957

Sixty years ago Standard class steam locomotives were still in production with sixteen locomotives delivered in the month. Diesel shunter production was progressing at a steady rate with six locomotives delivered in the month. There was also an increasing flow of new diesel multiple units.

New Locomotives
Standard Class 5 4-6-0 – 73152/53/71
Standard Class 4 4-6-0 – 75060/61/62
Standard Class 4 2-6-0 – 76086/87/88, 76100
Standard Class 2 2-6-2T – 84027/28
Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 – 92131/32
Class 08 – 13347/48/49/50/51/62/63/64/65/66 (D3347/48/49/50/51/62/63/64/65/66), D3454/55/56
New Diesel Multiple Units
Gloucester RCW (Class 100) – Sc50339/40, Sc56094/95
Metro Cammell (Class 101) – E50200/01/02/03/04/07/08/09/10/11, E56052/53/54/55/56/59/60/61/62/63
BRCW (Class 104) – M50422/23/26/27/28/29/80/81, M59134/35/36/37
Cravens (Class 105) – E50381/82/83/84/85/86, E56136/37/38/39/40/41
BR Derby (Class 116) – W50050/52/53/54/55/56/57/58/59/60/61/67/94/95/96/97/98/99, W50100/02/03/09, W59002/03/04/05/06/07/08/10/11/17
BR Eastleigh 6L (Class 202) – 1011/12

This month was the first month when new Class 08 shunters were delivered with D prefixes in stead of the 13 series numbers. However the private contractors would continue to deliver their new shunting locomotives with the old 11 series numbers until November 1957 when they switched over to the D prefix.
.
In the month fifty seven steam locomotives were withdrawn, thirty being over fifty years old with Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway 1142 Class 0-6-0 58121 being the oldest, having been built Kitsons, entering traffic in June 1875 and condemned just short of eighty two years later. The majority of these withdrawals were the older main line secondary and branch line passenger engines and old freight engines who were at the bottom of the cascade of power from the continued delivery of the Standards and Diesel Multiple Units. Ten locomotives condemned were built post the 1923 grouping, namely two Great Western Railway tank engines (a 58xx 0-4-2T and a 45xx 2-6-2T), a Southern Railway N15 4-6-0, three London Midland and Scottish Railway Class 4P 4-4-0’s, a 7F, 0-8-0 and a 2-6-0-0-6-2T Garrett, and a London and North Eastern Railway D16 4-4-0 and an A5 4-6-2T. Only three of these ten locomotives however were post grouping designs.

All Our Yesterdays – 55 Years Ago –May 1962

Diesel and Electric locomotive building was in full swing with British Railways workshops at Darlington building class 08’s and class 10’s, Horwich building class 08’s, Doncaster building class 85 electric locomotives, Derby building class 46 “Peaks”, Crewe building class 45 “Peaks”, Swindon building class 03’s and class 52’s Westerns. Locomotive contractors were also in production with English Electric building at Vulcan Foundry class 37’s, class 40’s and class 55 Deltics. Also English Electric were building at the Robert Stephensons and Hawthorn works, Darlington class 20’s, Beyer Peacock at Manchester were building class 35 Hymek’s, Brush were building class 30’s (31’s) at Loughborough, North British Locomotive Co. at Glasgow were building class 22’s and class 43’s and the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Co. were building class 27 and class 33’s.

New locomotives:
Class 03 – D2185
Class 08 – D4129/32/62/63/64
Class 10 – D4092
Class 20 – D8126
Class 22 – D6341/42/43
Class 27 – D5384/85/87/88/89

Class 40 – D389/90/91/92
Class 43 – D864 Zambesi
Class 45 – D50/67
Class 46 – D165/66/67/68
Class 52 - -D1004 Western Crusader
Class 55 – D9021
Class 85 – E3068

Locomotives Named: D213 Andania, D216 Campania, D217 Carinthia, D219 Caronia

In the month steam locomotive withdrawals increased dramatically, up from one hundred and twenty five steam locomotives in April to one hundred and eighty two in May 1962. A major factor in this increase was the withdrawal of no less than forty five GWR 57xx pannier tanks in the month. The month would see a continuation of withdrawals from most of the remaining pre-nationalisation designs including a steady trickle of post World War Two constructed locomotives.

From the beginning of May the 08:10 St Pancras – Nottingham and the return 12:00 Nottingham – St Pancras have been rostered for a pair of recently delivered BRCW Type 2 locomotives (class 27).

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 – May 1967

First generation locomotive building was virtually complete with a couple of Class 47’s from the Brush Falcon Works at Loughborough still to be delivered and the last twenty or so Class 20’s from the English Electric Vulcan Foundry. On order yet to commence delivery were the fifty Class 50 locomotives.

New locomotives:

Class 20 – D8307/08/09/10/11/12/13/14/15/16

Doncaster Works was undertaking 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;

D5555/66, D5617/18/90, D5824/27

Main line diesel and electric production in the month decreased to ten. Steam withdrawals in the month increased significantly from one hundred and five to one hundred and fifty nine. With only sixteen months to go steady inroads were now being made into all the remaining steam classes. With the bulk of the remaining steam fleet being made up of Stanier Black Fives, Stanier 8F’s and BR Standards it was to be expected that withdrawals of these types would now form a significant element of the monthly withdrawals. In May twenty six Black Fives, thirteen 8F’s and forty four BR Standards were condemned including four Britannia’s. However the slaughter of the small or non-standard diesel shunter fleet was still stalled with only seven locomotives condemned.
