Here's something you don't see every day - an A4 and a Clayton in the same photo! (although such a juxtaposition must have happened in the Scottish Region many times in the mid 'sixties).

 

53 years ago today, on 4th November 1967, 60019 'Bittern' (by this time in private ownership) headed a Leeds-Edinburgh rail tour which I photographed heading north through Gateshead on the outward leg, about to pass an unrecorded Clayton with what looks to be a scrap metal train.

(Scanned from a print as I seem to have mislaid the original negative)

Larkhill

Class 08 (3923)

 

If I may make a small correction, Larkhill I believe should read Larkfield, this was the carriage sidings on the Up side between Glasgow Central and Polmadie. Part of the site is now a bus depot !

Derby works is in the process of building the last batch of class 25’s, one of which D7667 is the 1000th diesel locomotive to be built at Derby.

 

Derby works was also still playing host to four of the five original prototype main line diesels (10000, 10201/02/03) prior to them being dispatched eventually to J Cashmore, Great Bridge for breaking up.

 

I photographed a number of these engines above in later life and they can be seen in this collection.

Always wanted to go to Darlington works.

It closed 1966, the year I turned 14 and was able to go on SADRES club trips.

No trip ran to it before it shut.

Sigh

Photos taken on 16th November from Dad's collection

[phil_sutters]

18.11.2006 saw steam specials at Victoria, Paddington and I think Kings Cross. I made it to the first two but not the third. For some reason the photography* was a bit rubbish, here are a couple of snaps for the record.  - *read 'photographer'!

[Rugd1022]

A day late with this, but yesterday it was thirty seven years since 50 041 derailed with the Up sleeper at Paddington. I can remember it as if it were yesterday, seeing  some of the coaches staggered about and 50 041 on its side, from the window of the first tube of the morning from Hammersmith as we came past.

I was early turn in Reading Booking Office that day, by the end of the shift I was practically hoarse from telling London passengers to travel by the Tramcar line, sorry Southern Region, to Waterloo. Insignificant of course compared to the experience of those involved in the accident.

On this Day in History –Crewe Works

25th November 1974.

 

A tour around the works produced the following:

 

Class 08 (08088, 08469), class 20 (20057/68), class 25 (25218/56/67/72), class 37 (37192, 37214/47), class 40 (40007/19/22/29/32/40/56/58/66/67/79/80/96, 40115/28/42/45/46/51/53/59/87), class 47 (1592, 1715, 1950, 47008/13/33/85, 47106/15/18/22/61/75, 47210/13/19/36/70/80/83/89, 47344/53/59, 47403/06/08/09/11/12/13/14/16/19/25/26/69, 47508/42/43/45), class 50 (50005/25/30/47/49), class 76 (76020/34), class 81 (81019), class 85 (E3061, 85031), class 86 (86013/25/39/44/47, 86103, 86238), class 87 (87009, 87101)

 

Of note is the high proportion of the first batch of class 47’s (D1500 – D1519, 47401 – 47420), out of twenty locomotives, ten (50%) are out of service in the works.

 

I photographed a number of these engines above in later life and they can be seen in this collection.

On This Day in History –Manchester/Bury/Crewe

28th November 1970 (Saturday)

 

In 1970 the class 83 and 84 electric locomotives were all taken out of traffic pending an upgrade to there electrical control equipment. Most were stored at Bury and on this November day in 1970 I ventured north from Nottingham to Bury to track down these stored locomotives.

 

Nottingham – Bury:

Class 08 (3029/34/37, 3404, 3769/71/73/84, 3860), class 20 (8008/12, 8101/41/92), class 25 (5270/74, 7585), class 31 (5655), class 37 (6718, 6809), class 40 (213, 385), class 44 (2), class 45 (26/75, 108), class 47 (1783/85, 1828, 1900), class 86 (E3158).

 

In store at Bury were:

Class 76 (E26000), class 83 (E3024/25/26/27/28/29/30/31/32/35/98/99), class 84 (E3036/37/39/40/41/44/45).

 

This equated to twelve out of fifteen class 83 locomotives and seven out of ten class 84 locomotives. Also present was E26000, the original class 76 dating from 1941 which would be broken up at Crewe in October 1972

 

Following on from Bury I paid a visit to Reddish MPD:

 

Class 25 (5153, 7548/94), class 40 (226), class 76 (E26002/09/10/17/24/35/40/42/46/56).

 

My journey back from Manchester to Nottingham was via Crewe and produced the following:

Class 03 (2386/98), class 08 (3032/33, 3105, 3279, 3585, 3984, 4035, 4143), class 24 (5008/89), class 25 (5203), class 37 (6964), class 40 (274/89/98), class 45 (45), class 46 (141/54), class 47 (1628, 1947), class 50 (405/13/34), class 81 (E3012/20/21/96), class 85 (E3074/81/86), class 86 (E3105/14/16/28/30/32/40/45/48/57/63/68/78/86/89/91).

 

On the journey back to Nottingham I made a visit to Crewe MPD:

Class 08 (3801), class 24 (5007/22/32/38/41/60/79, 5142), class 40 (211/29/32/33/43/67, 320/44), class 47 (1540, 1615/18/23/89, 1708/15/45/55, 1808/34, 1943/45/58/60/63), class 50 (406/07/14/15/21/24/26/29/30/31/33/38/43/47/48).

 

Of note are the fifteen class 50’s on Crewe MPD representing 30% of the class.
