, class 17 (D8607), .................

One of the ER Claytons sent to Donny for some remedial work. It would have been a rare visitor - I wonder if it went through acceptance trials there (at an earlier date)  or did Derby do them all?  These worked off Barrow Hill shed.

On this Day in History – Southampton

17^th January 1974 (Thursday)

 

During the first couple of months of 1974 I was looking at potential Universities, one of which was Southampton. I duly visited the Southampton University and the day commenced with 45103 from Nottingham to London St Pancras, followed by a quick visit to Kings Cross, tube to Waterloo and EMU to Southampton. Return was by the same path with 45109 from St Pancras to Nottingham. During the day I saw the following:

Class 07 (07002/03/06), class 08 (3273, 3304/06, 3400/61, 3514/87, 3773/76/85, 3864/66, 3909/36/96, 08030, 08845), class 09 (4100, 09021), class 20 (8037, 8148), class 25 (5217/82, 7562/72/95, 7612/20/66), class 31 (5590/92/99, 5602/05/08/15/22/25/42/45/47/50/51/54/93), class 33 (6500/24/28/72/89, 33006/18/21/26/29/34, 33114/18), class 37 (6803), class 40 (294), class 45 (31/45/55/84/98, 100/05/32/35/36, 45003, 45103/09/17), class 46 (144/50/91), class 47 (1514/43, 1684, 1708/10/52/59, 1812/35/43/61/70/84, 1974, 47485), class 55 (9001/10/17), class 73 (E6002/07/15/20/22/30/33/43), class 74 (E6106/10, 74001/05).

 

Items of interest are the high number of class 31’s (sixteen) at Kings Cross in the two brief visits, class 40, 294 seen at Nottingham and the high number of Eastleigh allocated engines carrying there new numbers compared to any where else.

SIX Deltics out of twenty-two on works? Twenty-seven % of the class needing works attention? No wonder BR got rid, really.

They were 'Pets'. The Plant used to manipulate the figures by giving them preference over everything else in the late 1960s period. There are reports of locos arriving one evening and the night shift immediately working on them including component swaps just to get them out the next day. I suspect the true costs of running them were horrendous.

On this day in History –Toton

15^th February 1970 (Sunday)

 

On this day forty six years ago despite it being the winter it was out with the push bike for a twenty mile round trip to Toton for a “bunk” round the shed. This is what was seen that day:

class 08 (3039/58, 3345/62, 3852/59, 3996/97), class 20 (8005/06/34/38/39/44/59/60/61/71/75/76, 8112/35/40/46/48/54/68/76/94), class 25 (5226/47/67, 7604/54), class 44 (9), class 45 (13/38/41/68/83/87/94, 100/10/16), class 46 (159), class 47 (1522, 1612, 1803/12/22/23/27/31/57/62, 1961).

 

Although a Sunday only fifty seven locomotives and only one class 44 seen which suggests I got “slung out” half way round. A number of the above locomotives were photographed later in their careers and can be seen in this collection.

BNS 47 448/511, 85 023

This was a Merrymaker awayday excursion from Bristol to York, then we met the Inter-city railway society Thames Valley branch at York for a coach visit to Leeds and Healey Mills. For reasons best known to BR the permits for those sheds were not granted, and we travelled North to Darlington and Thornaby instead. I was enthralled by Thornaby - it was a weekend but there was no less than 25 class 37s on the depot! And I worry about the numbers of locos I have bought, and that depots may not look prototypical with large numbers of locos. At Knottingley we were not permitted to look inside the shed, but tantalisingly we were given the numbers of the 47s and a brand new 56 (why we weren't allowed inside) that were there. Two of the 47s were ones I needed, and never saw (I needed just four class 47s to "clear" when I packed it all in 1979, quite an achievement I thought). I remember depot security, especially where the 56s were located, was quite tight- allegedly because some lads had driven two brand new 56s down to a local colliery from Coalville. I've never verified if this were true, and may be urban myth, but the thought of BR losing two brand new 56s caused a bit of amusement at the time - the keys were allegedly left in the ignition!!

[JeffP]

The story you recount actually happened, except it was  pair of 47's.

* This was probably one of 33032s final journeys Cardiff to bristol Tm. The next day it was in a collision with a class 47 near Frome and was withdrawn.
