Finally produced a list (albeit something will be missing) of Locomotive classes that were noted/photographed on the line in the 50's, 60's, 70's and early 80's.

The list is in excess of 470 individual Locomotives and includes so far everything that was known to have been sighted between Denham and Ashendon Junction. Numbers noted by my late Step Father during his many hours enjoying the hospitality of the Signalman at Haddenham in the 60's. Numbers from the 50's found by 'Sid' (Leading Railman) in the Office at Beaconsfield Station which I was able to copy down and of course the many photographs in books relating to the subject.

 

The classes are as follows:-

 

King, Castle, County, Star, Hall, Modified Hall, Grange, Manor, 28xx, 47xx, Dukedog (9017), City of Truro, 51xx, 61xx, 45xx, 55xx, 22xx, 63xx, 54xx, 74xx, 94xx, 57xx, 14xx, 30xx (ROD), 72xx.
