Failed at the first hurdle! It was one of a
batch built in 1927 - but 41947 is clearly a LT&SR atlantic tank,
well away from its home ground at Toton. |
 |
Ex-Midland Railway 41531 was built in 1907 -
designed by Deeley, better known for his compounds. We think this
is at Staveley (Barrow Hill) |
 |
Here's one of those rather nice little
half-cab
0-6-0Ts which the Midland built. No 41844 is no longer with us,
but class-mate 41708 survived |
 |
49007 is an ex-LNWR G2A,
seen at Wigan.. Close relative G2
no. 49395 is still with us |
 |
Ex-L&Y 50850 was one of the very last of its
class in service, seen on station pilot duties at Bolton Trinity
Street. Classmate 1008 is preserved |
 |
Another survivor - 52044 was the last of
Barton-Wrights 0-6-0s in service (seen here at Wakefield shed) and lives on the Worth Valley
Railway |
 |
Aspinall's 27 class followed two years later,
in 1889. 75 were still in service in 1959, including 52207; one is
preserved, no. 52322, on the East Lancs Railway |
 |
Perhaps the saddest
picture in this section. Ex-HR 4-4-0 "Ben Alder", BR 54398, was
set aside for possible preservation in 1953, but scrapped in the
mid 60s. Dawsholm |
 |
54491 was a Pickersgill 4-4-0 for the
Caledonian Railway - seen here a little off its former tracks at
Thurso |
 |
Ex-CR 0-4-4T 55173 arrives at Connell Ferry
with a train from Ballachulish. Classmate 55189 survived,
preserved as no. 419 at Bo'ness |
 |
More Caley steam - 56031 is seen with its
wooden tender; 54497 looks on at Greenock (Ladyburn) |
 |
56169 was built as a dock shunter for the
Caledonian Railway. St Rollox (?) |
 |
Ex-CR 57350, seen at
St Rollox, is a Drummond "Standard
Goods"... |
 |
...and 57550 was a McIntosh "812" - in fact
it was no 812, first of the class, seen at North Leith station. No 828 has been preserved,
residing on the Strathspey Railway after several years in the
museum at Glasgow |
 |
58086 was an ex-Midland Railway 0-4-4T
(providing the basis for Stanier's later design on the previous
page). Bath Green Park |
 |
58131 was a member of
a Midland class dating from 1875. Seen at Kentish Town |
 |
Lastly, and another survivor, ex-North
London Railway no 58850, last of a class dating from 1879, now
preserved on the Bluebell Railway. Seen here, we think, at Devons Road (Bow). |
