GWR Shed Allocations between 1929 and 1934

[seaber]

Hi, 

 

I've been using http://shedbashuk.blogspot.com/p/index-of-shed-visits.html?m=1 to find out which GWR 5700s would been allocated to Old Oak Common in the 1930s. There is no information for the years 1930-1933 though, would anyone be able to advise where I can get a copy of this information if it exists? 

 

The following has information for 1929 http://www.greatwestern.org.uk/060_5700det.htm

 

Thanks, 

Matt

Allocations for the 57XX Panniers?

 

Try the Pannier Papers books from Irwell Press. They are in those.

 

 

No.1 94XX

No.2 57XX (36XX, 37XX, 46XX)

No.3 57XX (57XX, 67XX, 77XX)

No.4 57XX (87XX, 96XX, 97XX)

No.5 16XX

No.6 1366, 15XX 

No.7 54XX, 64XX, 74XX 

 

Available from many proper bookshops such as Booklaw, Strathwood, Titfield, etc. for the same price, but posting the Amazon link for ease.

Also have a look at BR Database. Lots of information on there.

 

But I don't think the 57XXs have the allocation information prior to 1948 added yet.

Wild Swan Publications "Great Western Locomotive Allocations for 1934" ISBN 0906867347 might be of assistance. Copies available for about £15 plus shipping.

I have allocation books going back to 1903 - but haven't been through them yet - I can have a look if you are still searching.

You can see a few in 1934 - 5715/7/27 for example.
