We start with 67230, a former GER 2-4-2T,
LNER F6, at Stratford shed.. Their predecessors (F4 and F5) were known as "gobblers" - I'm not
sure whether these had such a great appetite for coal |
 |
NER "O", LNER G5 no 67261 at Monkseaton. It will be good to see one of these neat and
well-proportioned locos in action again |
 |
67417 was the last survivor of class C13,
built for the Great Central. It's wearing a cloth cap - I suspect
it had been withdrawn when the photo was taken at Gorton shed |
 |
Here's a really interesting little loco -
J77 68406 is a rebuild of one of Fletcher's "BTP" 0-4-4 well
tanks, a class dating from 1874. 68406 was withdrawn in late 1959;
the last four went in 1960. We think this is Thornaby. |
 |
J69 no 68566, one of a large class of very
compact little locos built by the Great Eastern |
 |
J72 68736 - one of the locomotives repainted
in NER livery for station pilot duty. It bears a York (50A)
shedplate, but seems to have moved north to Newcastle. |
 |
GNR 0-6-0ST - class J52 68824 - At Doncaster. Someone has
chalked on the bunker "St Helens 44, Hunslet 2" |
 |
Another GNR 0-6-0, this time a J50 side
tank, number 68897, at Darlington shed. |
 |
69267 was a Great Central (originally MS&L)
locomotive, LNER class N5. An attractive shed scene |
 |
Back to the GER - N7 no 69640 at Hatfield |
 |
69820 - a Great Central 4-6-2T, LNER class
A5, looking in fine fettle... |
 |
...but A8 69887 looks as though its days of
action may be over at Thornaby. These locos were rebuilds, by Gresley, of
Raven's NER 4-4-4 tanks of class D of 1913 |
 |
Lastly, a hefty looking ex-GCR 0-8-0T. Sadly,
like the C13 above, 69935 is wearing a cloth cap, and will probably
not steam again. Frodingham. |
