doilum Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Hopefully this is the correct place to post. Having realised that the Wikipedia entry is long out of date ( and may never have been totally accurate) is there a Hunslet enthusiast out there with an up to date list of the survivors and their current location and status?

It would appear to only confirm what you might already know provided you feed it enough details to find it. The search continues. Apologies to those who swear by rather than at it.

Mark Saunders Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 The Industrial Railway Society published "Coalfield, Continent and Conservation" and is available in this package with "Austerity saddle tank locomotives" and is worth buying! https://irsshop.co.uk/MODbundle Mark Saunders 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The recent debate on another thread got me thinking about the status of the survivors as we approach 40 years since they were last used in industrial service.

Sounds like you’re quite a way down the track already. For locations, the latest Industrial Railway Society’s “Existing Locomotives” edition 18EL has a useful index of builder’s numbers to pages/locations. However the book does not give current status, nor does it include examples that went abroad (Belgium and Holland). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doilum Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 From my reckoning, a total of 65 austerities went into "preservation". 45 of these are detailed in Continent Coalfield & Conservation. The remainder are from the Hunslet post war builds. I think I have avoided double counting the 1960s rebuilds. If I have counted correctly, the Wikipedia list has 63 (certainly missing Antwerp). If anyone can help with current location and status we might be able to update the Wikipedia article. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leeds loco list totals 63 and does include He 3180 Antwerp. I am sure that my list had several from the other builders. It appears to be reasonably up to date with regards to location.

I am sure that my list had several from the other builders. It appears to be reasonably up to date with regards to location. A quick look shows ten from Bagnoll, RSH and Vulcan Foundary. My list doesn't show any Hunslet builds in the 36xx series, so I assume that these numbers were allocated to austerities from other builders as they were overhauled in Leeds. The Wikipedia list does show the original builders so a little cross referencing is now required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Northmoor Posted October 27, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 27, 2019 I remember Steam Railway doing a complete list back in the late '80s and that number of 65 sounds about right. I've struggled not so long ago to find a recent update on the status of the two survivors in Tunisia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
