On This Day In History

[melmerby]

I bet when you were copping those locos 50 years ago you could never imagine that you would be publishing them on a website (just a figment of somebody's imagination then!)

 

Plenty of interest as usual

On this day in History –Toton – Sunday, 15^th February 1970

 

On this day forty 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.

On this day in History - Sheffield MPD’s – 4^th March 1973.

 

A tour around the code 41 depots of the Sheffield area.

 

Shirebrook (41J)

Class 08 (3325/33, 4035), class 20 (8025/56/65, 8128/30, 8306/08), class 25 (5167/83, 5214), class 31 (5541, 5830/40/58), class 37 (6788, 6826/68), class 47 (1772/88/96, 1897, 1977/80/81/83).

Barrow Hill (41E) (Failed)

Class 03 (2389), class 08 (3209, 3401), class 20 (8314), class 47 (1629, 1784).

Tinsley (41A)

Class 08 (3015/32/35/37, 3288/89/93, 3310, 3405, 3574, 3659, 3897, 3981, 4034/39/47), class 13 (4500/02), class 20 (8020/23/59/60), class 25 (5169/71/74, 5228/29/33/52, 7562), class 31 (5548, 5819/52), class 37 (6724/36, 6800/05/08/24/27), class 45 (68/69/83, 131), class 47 (1101/09, 1773/79, 1863).

Wath (41C)

Class 08 (3060/61/62/63/64, 4032/33/37), class 25 (5175/84/85), class 31 (5583), class 37 (6789/94, 6803/22/36/61/63/67, 6915), class 47 (1785/97), class 76 (76006/07/08/09/13/18/23/25/30/36/38/48/50/55.

 

At least one hundred and twenty one locomotives in an area that nearly forty years later you would be lucky to find five operational locomotives. Things to note are the abundance of class 25’s, (Tinsley had a batch of class 25/0’s on allocation at this time) and 3035 and 3037 which had been withdrawn the previous December and would be converted unsuccessfully into snowploughs ADB966508 and ADB966510 respectively, both broken up in 1979

 

A number of the above locomotives were photographed later in their careers and can be seen in this collection.

Do not know Keith, I have it recorded four times in Derby works logs during 1975 (26/1/75, 23/2/75, 11/5/75 and 19/10/75)

Definitely a mystery! Maybe it was renumbered for some reason?

 

I found another source that said 47592 was cut November 66.

 

I remember during my spotting days (mid 50s - early 60s) that Derby works quite often had some long withdrawn locos hiding out the back waiting to be cut up.

I wonder whether the recorded scrap dates tied up with the actual dates they were cut?

(I don't think this would apply in this case however!)

 

Cheers

I think it more likely that the 3F was one of the preserved ones and it had had a bunker swap at some time in the past (they rotted pretty well!) and as a result the old number was showing through.

On this day in history...my first ever club trip, Crewe. 1966

 

Sadly, no photos, or records, other than the  memories.

 

Going over the Pennines, I was seated next to a lad no-one else wanted to sit next to...as the youngest on the trip, not quite 14, I found out why when he neatly vomited between his knees. The rank smell stayed with us all day on the coach.

 

We started at Stockport Edgely depot and awaited the arrival of Bittern on a special. This took over two hours and was instead of a couple of other sheds.

Next shed was Northwich, Standard class 2 78xxx and 84xxx.

On to Crewe South, which was packed with Britannias...long lines of them, so many that we didn't realise that 70000 herself was there until we checked our notebooks later. A few of the younger lads did the diesel depot too, it was very new and there were loads of named class 40's on shed. The older lads mocked us for spotting diesels.

Lastly, Crewe works......I remember being in the paintshops, when the first lads out of the door set up a shout..."Clan!!!"

 

It wasn't, it was a sad looking Duke of Gloucester, awaiting a decision on it's fate...a decision which wasn't good.

The works was still repairing steam locos, but the only namers were a couple of Jubilees and two Britannias.

 

I did have my dad's camera and a transparency film in it, but when he found out I'd used the entire 36 exposures, he contrived to "lose" the film.

 

Fine, warm day, the coach radio playing "These Boots were made for Walking", Nancy Sinatra, and "Mirror Mirror", Pinkerton's Colours

 

Funny what sticks in your mind almost fifty years later.......yet I have difficulty remembering to do things over a couple of days now.

Made my first trip to Crewe (my 11th birthday treat) in March 1967 and still remember my walk round Crewe South full of steam, with the Brits having painted nameplates. The depot also had quite a few of the more unusual diesel shunters of the time which were about to become victims of the first of the great diesel purges between 1967-69 which weeded out all of the odds and sods, non standard shunters and really unsuccessful early diesel classes (classes 16, 21, 22, 23, 28), with a number being withdrawn before the actual end of steam

That has to be a Sunday!  We all remember the long line of 56s curving off from the depot on the colliery branch

On this day in History - Day Excursion to Plymouth - 11^th March 1972

 

One way in the early 1970’s of travelling to interesting railway destinations on the cheap was to become a Notts County Football Club supporter for the day and use their football special train (Footex). Being in the old Division 3 at this time meant little risk of football hooligans and some interesting railway destinations. On this day thirty eight years ago Notts County played Plymouth away and I used the Magpies Footex for a trip to the South West and back with traction being provided by Peak 95 and in lieu of the match a bus ride/walk out to Laira MPD. Result of the match was a 1-1 draw.

On this day in History - Day Excursion to Plymouth - 11^th March 1972

 

One way in the early 1970’s of travelling to interesting railway destinations on the cheap was to become a Notts County Football Club supporter for the day and use their football special train (Footex). Being in the old Division 3 at this time meant little risk of football hooligans and some interesting railway destinations. On this day thirty eight years ago Notts County played Plymouth away and I used the Magpies Footex for a trip to the South West and back with traction being provided by Peak 95 and in lieu of the match a bus ride/walk out to Laira MPD. Result of the match was a 1-1 draw.

Interesting that you did not see any Westerns on the way down. I would have expected a few as you crossed them and at Bristol/Taunton/Exeter/Newton stations and their depots.

50 years ago today was the beginning of the end for the Bristol Barrow Road Jubilees, 45682 Trafalgar, 45685 Barfleur and 45690 Leander.

 

On Friday March 13, 1964 45690 had taken out the 1E64 8.40 Bristol to Sheffield, but failed at Gloucester.  It returned to Bristol Barrow Road on the Saturday and was withdrawn on Monday March 16.

 

It was in poor external condition compared to this shot of it on Fishponds Bank just seven months earlier

After two months in store it was taken inside the shed for rods to be removed and preparation for removal to the scrapyard.  A group of young enthusiasts spent the afternoon of Saturday May 23 cleaning it up for its last journey

Five years later it was still in Barry Scrapyard, mainly intact and awaiting the call

Restored at Derby Works in 1972-73 Leander has worked on the main line frequently in preservation

45685 Barfleur was withdrawn just three days later on Thursday March 19, 1964.

 

It was stored alongside the shed for two months

It was moved to Swindon in early June and scrapped at Risca, Newport.

 

45682 Trafalgar had been Bristol Barrow Road's last surviving Jubilee.  It had been away unbalanced since March 5, 1964, but returned on Wednesday March 25.

It survived as a celebrity engine for another two months.  Its final Northbound turn was on Friday May 8, 1964 on 1E64 Bristol to Sheffield, photographed at the end of its journey.

On Monday May 18 45682 was given the easy task of taking ecs from Barrow Road Carriage Sidings to Bath Green Park for  a Bank Holiday Monday excursion.  Just outside Bath it fractured a cylinder and was withdrawn some two weeks later.  Here it is stored on Bath Green Park Shed in August 1964.
