Crewe Heritage Centre European locomotives

I have been scanning some old photos and found two taken at Crewe heritage centre - date unknown
One is a SNCF steam loco La France and the second is a DB class 01 (01-1106)

Can anyone tell what happened to these locos as I can find no information about them on the internet

Thanks

 

Could you have possibly taken the photos at Carnforth?

 

All things are possible- but it looks like Crewe HC to me and the they were coupled together

 

There you go....

Thanks - just good to see they were not cut up

 

01 1104 should be back in service later this year after overhaul.

231 K 22 is now at Bahnpark Augsburg.

Great news for the 01 ! I well remember (as a Steamtown volunteer) baby-sitting her in a lay-by in North Yorkshire on a very cold February night when she was on her way to Carnforth from Germany. I don't remember ever being so frozen before or since!

 

When I was about 8 years old we stayed in a French cottage the owner of which had been the official SNCF photographer. On our last night we were invited over for a pancake supper all served on beautiful plates which in the centre had a full drawing of a famous French locomotive. At the end of the meal I was presented with a3 photograph of 231, waiting on the dockside to be exported to France. The following year I went to Carnforth and took a photo which we sent back to France. I remember 231 and the German locomotive were stabled on the road next to the miniature railway line that ran through the shed.

Well I was also scanning some slides a few days ago and came across this one at the Crewe Heritage Centre


The date is 8/8/1990. Quite a collection of Pacifics when you think about it. I had forgotten that I had ever seen them there.

To think the first three are pretty big Pacifics that look small to the German ones.

 

Two weeks later, on 22/8/1990, here is a similar view but now with no less than seven Pacifics in view - thats 34027 Taw Valley further down the yard.

A little 0-6-0T was there as well, 80 014. That's also at Heilbronn and cosmetically restored as best as possible, after parts went missing when it was dismantled for overhaul on the 80s.

Edit - forgot to add the link!
