RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted July 13, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 13, 2020 The 40 LMS 8Fs built at Swindon served the GWR in 1946 and four lucky ones managed to serve on up to Oct 1947. Which ones? And when did they get returned? Do we know their allocations? I posed this on the ANTB thread but there seems to be at least three of us "away from their books" right now. One reply was: The info, along with some nice shots, is in GWRJ 51, 'Swindon's '8Fs'' by John Copsey. I think the same info is in one of the appendices at the back of 'The Great Western Eight Coupled Heavy Freight Locomotives' by David Maidment. Does anyone have access to these please? Thanks.

RMweb Gold melmoth Posted July 13, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 13, 2020 If I'm reading the tables in the GWRJ article correctly, the last 4 were 8466 & 8478, returned in Sep 47 from Severn Tunnel Junction and Oxley respectively, and 8467 (STJ) and 8477 (Old Oak Common) in October 47. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
