Simon Moore Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I'm hoping that some of you can come to my aid here as I am struggling to find information about lms allocations for locos. I've found brdatabase.info a real wealth of knowledge to find shed allocations but finding Lms shed allocations is rather tricky. What I'm trying to find is the allocations of ex Midland 1f full cab, round top boilered 0-6-0s & if any were based at either Skipton or Hellifield? I have a kit built one on the go that'll become a Lms loco & I would like it to be modelled as a local machine if possible. Can anyone help me out?

Poor Old Bruce Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 According to Bulger, Skipton had 41767, 41820 and 41855 in 1950. Needs more digging to see what boilers they had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caley739 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Midland Railway Locomotives by Stephen Summerson (4 volumes) has allocation info for most Midland locos. Which dates are you interested in? Edited September 24, 2020 by Caley739 spelling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caley739 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) According to Summerson 1681 &1767 were allocated to shed 30/20F Skipton continuously from at least 4/24 to 11/45. You can rule out 1681 reboilered p8/25 but 1767 seems to have been a round top to withdrawal in p9/51. 1767 is noted as fitted with a double cab at an unknown date. 1820 was allocated to Skipton between 9/33 and 11/45 but was reboilered p9/26. 41855 was allocated only in BR days. So its looks like only 1767 fits your criteria. Edited September 24, 2020 by Caley739 add more info 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Moore Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Caley739 Thank you very much for the details regarding my question. I guess 1767 is the one then, I hadn't a chosen number in place I just wanted a local engine that would fit with my future plans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
