EddieB Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) I've not seen works numbers quoted in the "usual places", even for the preserved D5705. However, my attempt to compile a works list for Metropolitan Vickers has an unallocated "gap" of 22 works numbers running between 991-1012 (inclusive). Confirmation would be most welcome, but my inference is that the 20 Co-Bos (D5700-D5719) could fit into this sequence. MV 990/1955 was a 2'1" gauge battery electric for NCB, Pleasley Colliery and 1013/1957 a 3'0" gauge battery electric for Rothes Colliery. This is the only such gap within roughly the right time period, but suggests that BR order was placed well before actual deliveries were made in 1958/9. Edited July 9, 2019 by EddieB Dragging too far in the spreadsheet extended the class numbering - thank you Stovepipe for helpfully pointing out.

stewartingram Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 21 - D5700-D5720 ??? Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 D5701-D5720 = 20, + D5700 = 21. Or do you mean something else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold stovepipe Posted July 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) D5700-19, 20 locomotives. Was E1000 one of the other missing numbers? Finished in Oct 1958, in the middle of the Co-Bo run. Edited July 4, 2019 by stovepipe 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessy1692 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Could it be because they were built in Stockton rather than Manchester they didnt get the 'official' works numbers? Builders plates dont show any numbers, screen shot from D5705 facebook restoration account Cheers James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Just had a quick look online at the SLS as they have many/most of the works lists in the library. However this seems to be an omission unless these are listed under the previous businesses that occupied the relevant site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
