Brighton Works at Brighton Works. In 1958 A1X No 377S (originally No 35 Morden, later No DS 377 and
from 1959 No 32635), the works shunter in LBSCR Stroudley livery, is being repaired. One of the trio of Bulleid diesels is in the background. https://t.co/Rz2dFLmY7S
Displaying the rather sickly nature of Derby apple green, Rebuilt Patriot 45531 Sir Frederick Harrison is hauled by a 1F into the sights of Jim M. Jarvis from the paintshops in 1948. Soon given Brunswick, 45531 was withdrawn on 30th October 1965 from 12A Carlisle Kingmoor Shed.
In Autumn 1922, the LSWR noted that the IoW needed new engines & considered what they had. The O2s were near perfect; only minor P-way changes needed. The older & heavier Adams Radials, in store as of redundancy, were also considered but were inferior to the O2s & were discarded.
With BR lettering in GWR styles, Hawksworth tendered Castle 7017 G. J. Churchward sits at Chippenham in 1949 after only a year in service. Ending its days with a Collett 4000g, 7017 would be withdrawn from 81A Old Oak Common Shed 11th February 1963 following a period of storage.
Taken in Dufaycolour at the same time as J. M. Jarvis' Kodachrome shot with more accurate tones, A1X 377S Brighton Works is shot with a malachite Bulleid tender at its namesake in 1946. Returned to capital stock March 1959, 377S was withdrawn 31 March 1963 from 75A Brighton MPD.
Near Herne Bay on a Pullman service in July 1948, Battle of Britain s21C157 Biggin Hill shows just what a Bulleid boiler can do. Having a stint in the Eastern Region during the early 1950s, 34057 was the last unrebuilt BoB in service, withdrawn 7 May 1967 from 70E Salisbury Shed.
Decked to the nines with N15X 32333 Remembrance behind, Royal T9 30119 looks magnificent outshopped at Eastleigh in 1948. Despite being over 2 decades its junior, 32333 would be withdrawn from 70D Basingstoke Shed on 14th April 1956, less than 4 years after 30119's withdrawal.
@BurntonRailway IOW or BR(M) numbering
technically north western was under midland control in its early days
probably they received unused numbers from 50000~59999 range
(Most of the pre grouping midland/scottish locomotives occupied these numbers)
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays everybody! Here's something a tad different, yet something which I've only seen once before - the voice of a CME. Interviewed by Rex Wailes shortly before his death Sir William Stanier recounts his career, beginning with his days at Swindon. (1/3)
NOW I'm happy
Bit of an essay about the font, Stroudley's lettering was actually rather chunky, Billinton however modified it, making the letters thinner for whatever reason but retaining the overall style. It's rather noticeable in photographs of both designers engines
Sometime in 1963.
BR 32636 (Fenchurch) and 32670 (Poplar), on shed at Eastleigh. At the time, they were the oldest engines in BR stock, at over 90 years old. Both were withdrawn on the 4th of November that year, and are now preserved today.
