LNER Service Stock No. 3 Doncaster Works by John Law Service Stock No. 3 was, according to the RCTS Green Book, classified as a J54/2 at grouping. It was formerly No. 3920, built in 1891, and survived as No. 68319 to 1950. It only carried the No. 3 from 12/1928 to 4/1930, and was rebuilt to Class J55 in September 1933. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ian Smeeton Posted November 13, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 13, 2021 There are a couple more photos in that photostream of the electrification train. in this one the first two vehicles seem to have the condemned symbol on them, backed up by the next photo which appeared earlier in this thread.

That was what I initially thought as well, but then I noticed that J52s have a conventional dome rather than the GWR style one on this loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
montyburns56 Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Does anyone know when the trainshed was removed as it was gone when I visited in the mid 80s. Manchester Exchange 1980 by John Law 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS2968 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 It started, I think, in 1977 from the western end and gradually worked eastwards. The flat roof was still standing above Platform 11 Middle in April 1993 but the roofs over the main station were long gone. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted November 16, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 16, 2021 Plenty of DMUs had headcode boxes, just not ones as big as that (cl.112/113 Cravens only) as they usually didn't include a destination indicator. That usually was smaller and mounted in the central windscreen. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's partly because not many people were photographing DMUs in the 60s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life has been too busy recently, the Hudswell hasn’t made progress in months, the Sentinel kit remains unstarted.

I guess the power station had closed by this time. 3 of these are preserved, two I think in BE form, having been converted to that to work at Heysham power station, the other in the form shown in the photo. What I don’t know is where they are now. They were built by HL/RSH, but had BTH electrical kit, and I suspect that the whole design might owe a lot to GE/BTH, so relating them closely to the NER, French, and Italian ones, and their antecedents in the US. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
