In the month ninety two steam locomotives were withdrawn, fourty seven being over fifty years old with North Eastern Railway J77 0-6-0T 68435 being the oldest, having entering traffic in August 1880 and condemned seventy eight 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. Seventeen engines condemned were built post the 1923 grouping with the youngest engine condemned being Great Western Railway 45xx 2-6-2T 4590 at only 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

All Our Yesterdays – 55 Years Ago – October 1963

Diesel and electric locomotive building was in full swing with British Railways workshops at Darlington and Derby building class 25’s, Swindon and Crewe building class 52 Westerns and Doncaster building class 85 electrics. 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, Clayton at Derby were building class 17’s Beyer Peacock building class 35 Hymeks and Brush were building class 47’s at Loughborough.

New locomotives:
Class 17 – D8549/51/52/53/54/55/56
Class 25 – D5230, D7569/70/71/72/73/74
Class 35 – D7088
Class 37 – D6868/76/77/78/79/80/81/82/99, D6900/01/02/03
Class 47 – D1544/45/46/47/48/49, D1682/83
Class 52 – D1024 Western Huntsman, D1069 Western Vanguard, D1070 Western Gauntlet
Class 85 – E3079/90

After the all time monthly high of two hundred and thirty nine locomotives condemned in September there was a slight reduction during October, however a further one hundred and ninety six locomotives spread over fifty three classes were condemned in the month. Major inroads were again made during the month on the larger passenger engines with four Coranation, three A1, eight A3 and five A4 Pacifics condemned. Also five Castle, eleven Hall, two County, three Stanier Black Five, seven Stanier Jubilee, one Fowler Patriot, two Royal Scots and one B1 4-6-0’s condemned plus another V2 2-6-2’s also condemned. Another major inroad was made into the Fowler 4F 0-6-0’s and no less than thirty three condemned. Another sign that steam was in rapid decline was the condemnation of another British Railways Standard engine, class 2 2-6-2T 84012 which was only just over ten years old.

All Our Yesterdays – 50 Years Ago – October 1968

With first generation diesel locomotive building virtually complete this month would see four Class 50 locomotives delivered.

New Locomotives
Class 50 – D441/43/44/45

The next nine 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.

D5503/08/17/83, D5655

With the main line steam now all withdrawn attention now focused on the small or non-standard diesel shunter and the non standard or unreliable main line diesel fleets. Shunter condemnations remained steady at fifteen and main line diesel condemnations decreased slightly from thirty seven to thirty five. This month British Rail decided it had had enough of the Clayton Type 1 (Class 17), introduced only six years earlier as a replacement for the English Electric Type 1 (Class 20) and condemned twenty one of the class, with the youngest, D8611 having only been in traffic for three years, nine months. Also condemned this month were five Class 14’s, three BTH Class 15’s, one North British Class 22’s, one English Electric “Baby Deltic” Class 23, one BR Type 2 Class 24, and two Warship Class 42’s. Finally seven electric locomotives were condemned, one Class 70 and the six EM2 Class 77’s, later to be sold to Holland. At least one of the October withdrawals has escaped being broken up, EM2 Class 77 E27000
