LMS2968 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Note that the Garratt has been turned so that the the smokebox end is trailing; originally it ran the other way around but its length made buffering up a challenge, with a few fairly heavy bumps to the train. 1 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearholmer Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 The trolley poles appear to belong to a third loco, to the left of the battery one. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closed to passengers in 1955 and to goods in 1964. The photo looks as if it was in the last two months of passenger working, when the the standard 2MT tanks had replaced the Fowler 3MT tanks on the push - pulls. The train would be for Oldham (Clegg Street) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalford 1964 by KDH Archive Diagram A44 1953 compartment conversion from Collett Brake 3rd, A38 Hawksworth next to the loco. There were A43 all-third non-driving trailers to go with the A44s as well, Collett Diagram C66. The A44s followed the style of compartment brake composite trailers converted in 1938 for the Lydney-Sharpness service, joint with the LMS which required first class provision. They were known as 'cyclops' trailers, the 1953 batch being produced in connection with an extension of auto working in South Wales, along with a number of 4575 small prairies being given auto equipment. Unstaffed halts and ground level access were uncommon in South Wales at that time and compartment trailers were suitable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Ian The 9F is displaying a 'through freight' headcode, which suggests that the stock is unbraked, and presumably withdrawn and, as has been suggested, on it's way to electrification Valhalla. The Euston/Birmingham/Liverpool/Manchester 25kv scheme had been completed the previous year, and no more work was done with 25kv until the 1974 Weaver Jc-Motherwell scheme. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
