    I make it that 16 locos withdrawn from Shrewsbury 84G survived into preservation; did anywhere else better that?

    Make a guess that Carnforth had a few.

    I can only see 6 locos that were withdrawn at Carnforth and subsequently preserved.

    Lowestoft shed has three survivors, the NNR J15, NRM J17 & the EARM N7. May not be many but that is almost half of the surviving G.E locomotives...

    If BRDatabase is correct, I make it at least 17 former Salisbury engines in preservation, though some of them moved to other sheds before withdrawal.

    (35006, 35009, 35010, 34007, 34027, 34028, 34046, 34051, 34053, 34067, 34092, 30825, 30847, 31618, 31874, 76017, 80151 were all at one time or another based at the SR shed at Salisbury).

    Bournemouth or Nine Elms have got to be worth a look, surely?

    How about Eastleigh? 30096/102/20, 30850 34010/16/28/39/58/72/73/81/101/105, 75069/78/9 80150/1 makes 19. The BR database website also claims that the Hayling Island Terriers' last shed was Eastleigh, although I thought it was Fratton. If it is right and I am wrong, that would take the total into the low 20s. If, like Tom, you add locos which were shedded there and subsequently reallocated, the total gets even higher - 30053, 76017, 30777, 31618/25, 34023 and 41298 should be added plus the aforementioned terriers (32636/40/46/50/55/62/70/78) if the Brdatabase website is correct.

    Good call, but you missed out SR 563 :) (at least RailUK info shows it being withdrawn there rather than Nine Elms.)

    I'm surprised that the BR Database gives Bournemouth as the final shed for 35010 and 35027. According to an Ian Allan book in my possession, Southern Express Locomotives, by Brian Stephenson, both locos were withdrawn from Weymouth. I've no idea who is right, but anyway, Bournemouth's tally is nowhere near that for Salisbury or Eastleigh.

    Good old 563 - she is cropping up everywhere on this forum at the moment!

    BRDatabase says withdrawn from Nine Elms, but now you mention it, a sanity check suggests that that is not very likely - hard to imagine such an elderly loco still being there by 1945.

    Which I suspect is a salutary warning about data quality / completeness. My assumption is that whoever compiled the data on that site had an allocation for 563 of Nine Elms in 1893, and without any further data, it appeared in the database to still be there on withdrawal.

    As I say - possibly a warning about data quality and over-reliance on a single source, especially what I assume is a secondary source.

    i think the original post was to count locos withdrawn from a particular shed not ones that once were shedded there.
