Kerr Stuart Mainline Locos

I've been trying to do a bit of research, and wondered if anyone could help me. Kerr-Stuart we hired by the mainline companies to build a number of mainline locos, but can anyone provide me with a definitive list of what locos they received contracts for?

GWR 57XX is the obvious one, with 7714/7715 surviving, and they also took orders for 3x batches of the LMS 4F. Are there any other class of locos that they received orders for?

Thanks in Advance

In common with most British locomotive builders, in the postwar era Kerr, Stuart received a number of large orders from the mainline companies who were seeking to replace obsolete inherited equipment with their own standard designs. In 1920 the Metropolitan Railway ordered eight superheated 4-4-4 passenger tank engines for the Aylesbury service. Between 1925 and 1927 the Stoke works built fifty standard class 4F 0-6-0 goods engines for the London Midland and Scottish Railway and in 1929 and 1930 a batch of 25 GWR 5700 Class 0-6-0PTs were built for the Great Western Railway.

 

There were also 2 Kerr Stuarts that were built for South America that the North Staffs.bought new off them in 1919.. They were Class KS nos. 74 and 75, they then became LMS 1602 and 1603.

 

I have the KS works list at home and will look later.

 

Cheers for your help so far

 

Interesting. When we launched the Joffre at Apedale, we tried to see if any KS employees are still alive. The only real success was from a woman who turned up with notes her father kept on his time working in the works. In terms of mainline locos, he recalled the GWR pannier tanks, the 4Fs and the Met Tanks; the latter became LNER class H2. His notes also said "We also completely rebuilt three large passenger type Great Western with their large driving wheels". I have never been able to trace these locos, despite looking in the records held at the NRM, and asking the GWRS. It has always nagged at me that I never managed to run this to ground. Any suggestions?

 

Be interesting to find out if there is anybody who knows something.

On a slight Tangent, is Foxfield KS4388 the only other surviving Standard Gauge loco alongside 7714/15?

 

Foxfield has three standard gauge Kerr Stuarts, as well as 4388 there's 4127/1920, Moss Bay and 4421/1929, the latter being the standard gauge diesel that first ran on the Ravenglass & Eskdale mineral line.

 

Is there many other Standard Gauge KS locos out there?

 

Quainton have another diesel shunter and there's Willy the Well tank, plus 7714 and 7715 and an electric loco according to www.uklocos.com

 

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.
