All Our Yesterdays – 60 Years Ago –March 1958

Sixty years ago the last 9F 2-10-0 Standard class steam locomotives were still in production, diesel shunter production was in full swing and the Pilot Scheme mainline diesels were being delivered. There was also a steady flow of new diesel multiple units.

New Locomotives
Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 – 92176/77/89/90
Class 03 – D2013/14/15/16
Class 04 – D2270/71/72
Class 08 – D3418/26/27/28/29, D3609/10/11/52/53/54
Class 10 – D3483/84/85/86/87/88
Class 20 – D8019
Class 30 – D5506
Class 40 – D200
Class D20/2 – D601
New Diesel Multiple Units
Gloucester RCW (Class 100) – Sc51127, Sc56319
Metro Cammell (Class 101) – M50308/09/12/13/14/15/16/26/27/30/31/32/33/34, M59119/20/23/24/25/26/27
Park Royal (Class 103) – M50399, M56154
BRCW (Class 104) – M50478/79, M50530/31/32/33, M56175/76, M59186/87
Cravens (Class 105) – M50770/73/74/75/76/77, M50803/06/07/08/09/10, M59325
BR Derby (Class 116) – W50853/55/56/57/60, W50906/08/09/10/13, W59361/63/64/65/68
Swindon Cross Country (Class 120) – W50661/62/63/64, W50714/15/16, W59255/56/57/58/59/60/61/62/63/64/65/66/67/68/69/70/71/72
BR Eastleigh 6L (Class 202) – 1019/31

In the month sixty six steam locomotives were withdrawn, thirty eight being over fifty years old with Midland Railway 3F Class 0-6-0 43193 being the oldest, having entering traffic in October 1888 and condemned sixty nine years later. The majority of these withdrawals were the older secondary main line and branch line passenger engines, steam shunting engines and old freight engines being displaced by the continued delivery of the last of the Standards, Diesel Multiple Units and diesel shunting engines. Twelve engines condemned were built post the 1923 grouping and one engine, Great Western Railway 57xx Class 0-6-0PT 6771 was actually built after nationalisation, entering traffic in October 1950 and only seven years old when condemned..

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 – March 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, Darlington and Derby building class 25 and Crewe and Swindon building class 52 Westerns. 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 – D5181/82/86/87/88/89
Class 35 – D7070/71/72/73/74
Class 37 – D6795, D6816/17/18/19/20/29/30/31
Class 47 – D1512/13/14/15
Class 52 – D1017, Western Warrior, D1054 Western Governor, D1055 Western Advocate, D1056 Western Sultan, D1058 Western Nobleman
Class 85 – E3077/78/80

After the massive attack on the steam fleet at the end of 1962 and the quite early months of 1963 steam withdrawal started to pick up again with one hundred and one withdrawals in the month of March. Two of those withdrawals, Great Western Railway 28xx 2-8-0 2807 and 41xx 2-6-2T 4141 escaped being broken up and can still be seen today.
