There were still a few of the rebuilt B16s
around York in my schoolboy spotter days - but the Raven originals
(like 61422) had all gone. Frodingham, 27 May 1961 |
 |
B12 61535 looks to be in fine fettle (but
what's that lurking in the background?*). |
 |
The cab makes plain the GNR origin of K2
61728 (which was actually built in 1914 as a K1, rebuilt 1931) |
 |
A North Eastern class "R", LNER D20 - it
looks well, though I suspect it's steamed for the last time. 62395
was one of the last, if not the last, to be withdrawn, end-1957 |
 |
62484 "Glen Lyon" is, of course, a Scottish
loco - but it's at Carlisle, and I couldn't resist it. It's the
12.25pm SO ex Hawick, 1 July 1961, a regular duty for this loco at
the time.
The spotters look bemused. |
 |
Back to the former Great Eastern for D16
62606, one of the last Claude Hamiltons. Withdrawn in 1959, none of
the class survived. |
 |
Sheffield Victoria - and Great Central D11 no
62662 "Prince of Wales". |
 |
62797 was one of the last survivors of the
former GER 2-4-0s, LNER class E4, going in 1958. |
 |
One of the last pre-grouping classes on BR,
Q6 63445 is doing what they were good at - slogging uphill on a Tyne Dock - Consett
working at Annfield East 15 February 1964 |
 |
The NER's ultimate 0-8-0 was the
3-cylindered T3 (LNER Q7). Here's no 63472 in what remains of Tyne
Dock shed |
 |
O4/6 no 63843, a rebuild of one of the
larger-boilered O5s. (All the O4s in Kenneth's collection seem to
have bent footplating...) |
 |
64207 is a Gresley GNR J6 0-6-0... |
 |
...and 64284 is a Robinson GCR J11 0-6-0 at
Immingham, 27 May 1961 |
 |
The GER's ultimate 0-6-0 was the J20 -
here's 64696 looking very healthy |
 |
The North Eastern had quite a variety - the
oldest in BR service being the surviving J21s. 65033 is of course
still with us, despite being withdrawn, then reinstated, in 1939.
We think this is Darlington Shed, 7 May 1960, prior to working the
J21 Rail Tour to Carlisle |
 |
65177 was a Great Central loco, LNER J10 |
 |
65445 was a GER J15, quite an antique when
this photo was taken. Clearly it's been found something to keep it
moderately busy at Stratford 9 October 1961 |
 |
Another GER loco, 65330 was LNER class J17
Possibly at Kings Lynn, where it was based in the late 50s |
 |
North Eastern class P1, LNER J25 no 65720
was one of the last survivors of the class, withdrawn in 1962 |
 |
65858 is a J27 (NER P3) - the J27s shared
with the Q6s in being the last pre-grouping steam on BR |
