Ivatt Std 2 No 46521

Veering off topic, but did Oswestry overhaul 9Fs?

 

Only 92247. It visited for a light casual repair from 11. 11. 61. to 09. 02. 62.
I tell a lie. 92210 also visited for a light casual from October 61 to Jan 62.

 

If a Jubilee had work done there, (5660?) I wouldn’t put it past Oswestry to have worked on 9F’s
Or as @std tank has confirmed a 9F

 

The Jubilee was 45572 Eire, which visited in July 1963.

 

Thankyou.

 

Thanks for the info. Seems that the standard 2’s are less documented. Any info on the where?

 

Well if it's any help. . . Barclay 2261 currently receiving a boiler overhaul at Oswestry is green, plus Grant Ritchie 272 currently on hire from Ribble is green too.

PS. Here a link to GR 272 with CHR's newest qualified fireman keeping a good lookout as we approach the footpath crossing.

I don't have the book anymore so I cannot check, however this book as far as I can remember was quite comprehesive in it's detailing.
British Railways standard steam locomotives 4-6-0 and 2-6-0 classes v2 May 2003
ISBN 0901115932

 

78000-64 all delivered in BR mixed-traffic lined black.

WR allocation 78000-9 all subsequently repainted green, some lined and some unlined. Mostly repainted green at Swindon, but some at Crewe and 78005 at Caerphilly.

 

Didn't I answer your question in my post #38?
Ray.

 

Meanwhile 46521 was conspicuous by its absence on a visit to Lbro shed on Friday. I believe it may now be at Tyseley for overhaul?

 

Many thanks for the updates from Loughborough Phil.
This drone video (not mine) of Tyseley popped up on YT and 46521 is visible at 0:21 at the turntable:

Further on in the video can be seen 70013's boiler alongside 71000.
