How were locos allocated to sheds?

Thanks, D1001, this clarifies things a bit.  5101s at TDU 4144 10/9/47-?/2/47, outside my time frame then 4145 ?/8/47-?/10/48, then 4144 returns ?/5/57.  My G W R liveried Airfix/Hornby hybrid 4145 is a scraper inner, and should not appear on the layout at the same time as 4144 or any crimson liveried stock; it is, in any case, semi-retired.

Although slightly OT to the OP's question, I have picked up on some comments made on this thread and these 2 pages from the 1942 LNER (Southern Area)  Appendix give some idea about the considerations as to what loco's could run where.

 

I get why extra clearance was needed over the Tyneside Electrified lines, but why the even greater requirement for Loftus-Whitby? Were the check-rails abnormally high? and if so why?
