Johnson 1f lms allocations particularly Hellifield & Skipton help needed

[Simon Moore]

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?

According to Bulger, Skipton had 41767, 41820 and 41855 in 1950. Needs more digging to see what boilers they had.

Midland Railway Locomotives by Stephen Summerson (4 volumes) has allocation info for most Midland locos. Which dates are you interested in?

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.

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.

Shedbash has a couple of entries for Skipton pre 1948 here : https://shedbashuk.blogspot.com/search?q=skipton

 

 

And Hellifield here: https://shedbashuk.blogspot.com/search?q=hellifield

but no mention of 1Fs
