Pobrien Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Thanks for the reminder ! 6999 was one of my favourite Halls, with its fine sounding name. As a Taunton and Westbury engine in the early to mid-sixties, it was a frequent visitor to Bristol. It was also the last Hall I saw in steam before the end of steam on the WR. Barrow Road Shed had closed the previous month and I went to Temple Meads after school and 6999 and Black Five 45061 went onto Bath Road Shed LE's from Gloucester to take out northbound freights later that evening on Friday Dec 10, 1965.

RMweb Gold Phil Bullock Posted May 12, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Hi John Fascinating gen as always - thanks for keeping this going! To me D9500 and D9502 are of particular interest. See http://www.miac.org.uk/stored85a.htm - I distinctly remember D9500 being outside the shed at Worcester one day - the stored locos were in what had been the goods loco shed in steam days - with fitters climbing over her and her engine running so I suspect that was just before she came back to Cardiff for this final spell of duty. With your agreement will pass this gen on to Andrew Smith who runs the MIAC site for him to update the records - siting of D9500 travelling north through Gloucester reported on that site is also of interest. Both still exist of course - D9502 I think still carries her original Swindon paintwork - a bit weather worn by now! D6320 and D6331 were the Gloucester twins by this stage allocated for local trip workings - D6331 would still have been GSYP at this date, didn't acquire GFYP for another year. Unfortunately now only exist on Abbotswood Junction and the like! And 2 D11xx Brush 4's in the area on the same day? Rocking horse manure!!!!

johnw1 Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Eighteen 204HP shunters at York! Something must be going on here.............. Tony I think at the time York were modifying a number into twin units ie two locomotives semi-perminatley coupled together cab to cab with both locomotives controlled from one locomotive. Most of these twin units were created from "ajoining" locomotives and I suspect D2112/13, D2158/59, D2244/45, D2339/40 are likley candidates. My June 1967 RO records that the following twins had been converted by that date D2052/53, D2260/61, D2263/64 and D2271/72. They were not a success and were quickly disbanded.

johnw1 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 On this day in History - Toton – 24th May 1969. It’s a Saturday morning so its out with the push bike for a twenty mile round trip to Toton to see what was about. Class 08 (3056/59, 3174, 3362/63, 3400/04, 3996, 4145), class 20 (8013/47/59/62/69/91, 8136/39/40/43/44/47/49/54/55/58/70/73/78/81/83/87/88/92), class 25 (7524), class 37 (6814, 6939), class 44 (1/5/9/10), class 45 (21/33/39/45/47/56/62/64/91, 101/03/05/06), class 47 (1628, 1701, 1823/24/25/29). Of note is the virtual lack of type 2 power, very strange and class 08’s, 3174 and 4145 which were not locals (3174 was I think at this time a Holyhead engine and 4145 was a Longsight engine) and I assume were on transfer to/from Derby works. In those days class 08’s were transferred between sheds and works usually via class 8 or 9 freight trains which abounded and who’s speed was slow enough not to be an issue. A number of the above were photographed later in life and can be found in this collection.

Rail-Online Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Also there were only 4 'under tenners', very different to a Sunday when all members of the class (that were not in Derby Works) would be present. I suspect the type 2's were out and about, perhaps on excursion traffic as well as the Sat freights....... Tony On this day in History - Toton – 24th May 1969.
