    All Our Yesterdays – 55 Years Ago – January 1964

    Diesel and electric locomotive building was in full swing with British Railways workshops at Darlington and Derby building class 25’s and Swindon and Crewe building class 52 Westerns. Locomotive contractors were also in production with English Electric building at Vulcan Foundry and also at the Robert Stephensons and Hawthorn works, Darlington class 37’s, Clayton at Derby were building class 17’s, Beyer Peacock building class 35 Hymeks and Brush were building class 47’s at Loughborough.

    New locomotives:
    Class 17 – D8567/68/69/70/71/72/73/74
    Class 25 – D5243/44/45/46/47, D7582/83
    Class 35 – D7098/99
    Class 37 – D6887/88/89/90/91, D6912/13/14/15/16/17/18/19/20/21/22/24
    Class 47 – D1550/51/52/53/54, D1698, D1700/01/07/08/09/10/11/12/13
    Class 52 – D1027 Western Lancer, D1033 Western Trooper
    Class 85 – E3094

    With main line diesel production in the month of over fifty locomotives it is a little surprising the steam withdrawals in the month showed a marked decline from the preceding few months with only one hundred and fifty seven condemned spread over forty nine classes. However, this included another BR Standard class locomotive 84007 only ten years old and the first inroad into the Stanier 8F 2-8-0’s with six withdrawn. Also, one main line diesel was withdrawn BRCW prototype D0260 Lion. At least three of the January withdrawals escaped being broken up Great Western Hall 4-6-0 4936 and Southern Railway S15 4-6-0’s 30825 and 30847.

    All Our Yesterdays – 55 Years Ago – February 1964

    Diesel and electric locomotive building was in full swing with British Railways workshops at Darlington and Derby building class 25’s, Swindon class 52 Westerns and Crewe building class 47’s. Locomotive contractors were also in production with English Electric building at Vulcan Foundry and also at the Robert Stephensons and Hawthorn works, Darlington class 37’s, Clayton at Derby were building class 17’s, Beyer Peacock building class 35 Hymeks and Brush were building class 47’s at Loughborough.

    New locomotives:
    Class 17 – D8575/76/77
    Class 25 – D5248/49/50/51/52/53/54, D7584/85/86
    Class 35 – D7100
    Class 37 – D6892/93, D6923/25/26/27/28/29
    Class 47 – D1555/56/57/58, D1714/15/16/17/18/19
    Class 52 – D1028 Western Hussar
    Class 85 – E3092

    Main line diesel production in the month dropped from over fifty locomotives in January to thirty five. Steam withdrawals in the month also showed a marked decline from the preceding month and at only one hundred and ten locomotives condemned (spread over forty two classes) was about a third of the monthly totals at the end of 1963. However the withdrawals included six BR Standard class locomotives, class 5 4-6-0 73094, class 2 2-6-0 78009, class 3 2-6-2T’s 82002/08/43 and class 9F 2-10-0 92223. Unsurprisingly 73094 and 92223 were later reinstated but it really signalled that the end of steam traction was fast approaching and nothing was beyond condemnation. It was also a bad month for Austerity 2-8-0s with eleven condemned and Stanier Black Five 4-6-0s with nine condemned. Two Stanier Coronation Pacifics were also withdrawn in this month 46229 Duchess of Hamilton and 46233 Duchess of Sutherland however both escaped being broken up and still survive today.

    All Our Yesterdays – 55 Years Ago – March 1964

    Diesel and electric locomotive building was in full swing with British Railways workshops at Darlington and Derby building class 25’s and Crewe building class 47’s. Locomotive contractors were also in production with English Electric building at Vulcan Foundry and also at the Robert Stephensons and Hawthorn works, Darlington class 37’s, Clayton at Derby and Beyer Peacock at Gorton were building class 17’s and Brush were building class 47’s at Loughborough.

    New locomotives:
    Class 17 – D8578/79/80/81/82/88
    Class 25 – D5255/56/57/58/59/60, D7587/88
    Class 37 – D6894/95, D6930/31/32
    Class 47 – D1559/60/61/62/64/65/66/67/68/69/70, D1720/21/22/23/24/25/26

    Doncaster works commenced replacement of the unreliable Mirrlees JVS12T 1250bhp engine in the Brush Type 2 fleet with a 1470bhp English Electric 12SVT engine with the following being completed this month;

    D5677

    Main line diesel production in the month increased slightly from the previous month to thirty seven. Steam withdrawals in the month continued the marked decline from the end of 1963 and at only one hundred and four locomotives condemned (spread over thirty eight classes) was still about a third of the monthly totals at the end of 1963. It was a bad month for Austerity 2-8-0s with eighteen condemned and Stanier Jubilee 4-6-0s with eight condemned. Another Stanier Coronation Pacific and two Gresley A4 Pacific’s were also condemned in the month. However, one of the Stanier Jubilee 4-6-0s condemned escaped being broken up and still survives today.

    All Our Yesterdays – 55 Years Ago – April 1964

    Diesel and electric locomotive building was in full swing with British Railways workshops at Darlington and Derby building class 25’s Swindon and Crewe building class 52 Westerns and Crewe building class 47’s. Locomotive contractors were also in production with English Electric building at Vulcan Foundry and also at the Robert Stephensons and Hawthorn works, Darlington class 37’s, Clayton at Derby were building class 17’s and Brush were building class 47’s at Loughborough.

    New locomotives:
    Class 17 – D8583
    Class 25 – D5261/62/63/64/65/66/67, D7589/90/91
    Class 37 – D6896/97, D6933/34/35/36
    Class 47 – D1563/71/72/73/74/75/76/77, D1727/28/29/30/32/36
    Class 52 – D1029 Western Legionnaire, D1034 Western Dragoon

    Main line diesel production in the month decreased slightly from the previous month to thirty three and it would appear that D1563 suffered some issue during construction/test as it was delivered significantly out of sequence from Crewe works. Steam withdrawals in the month increased sharply from the preceding few months at one hundred and sixty four locomotives condemned (spread over thirty six classes), however this was still about a half of the monthly totals at the end of 1963. It was also another bad month for Austerity 2-8-0s, with twenty eight condemned, Great Western 57xx Pannier tanks, with seventeen condemned and Fowler 4F 0-6-0s with fourteen condemned. However at least one, Great Western Railway 2-6-0 5322 escaped being broken up and still survives today

    All Our Yesterdays – 55 Years Ago – May 1964

    Diesel and electric locomotive building was in full swing with British Railways workshops at Darlington and Derby building class 25’s and Crewe building class 47’s. Locomotive contractors were also in production with English Electric building at Vulcan Foundry and also at the Robert Stephensons and Hawthorn works, Darlington class 37’s, Clayton at Derby and Beyer Peacock at Gorton were building class 17’s and Brush were building class 47’s at Loughborough.

    New locomotives:
    Class 17 – D8584/85/89/90/92/93
    Class 25 – D5268/69/70/71/72/73/74, D7592
    Class 37 – D6898, D6937
    Class 47 – D1579/80/81/82/83/84/85/86/87/88/89/90, D1734/35/37/38/42/58
    Class 85 –E3084

    Main line diesel production in the month increased slightly from the previous month to thirty five and it would appear that class 47 delivery from Brush, Loughborough had hit problems with significant out of sequence deliveries. D6898 would also be the last diesel locomotive built for British Railways at the Robert Stephensons and Hawthorn works, Darlington. Steam withdrawals in the month increased sharply from the preceding few months at two hundred and one condemned (spread over fifty six classes). It was also another bad month for Great Western 57xx Pannier tanks, with twenty six condemned and Fowler 4F 0-6-0s with eighteen condemned. A significant change in the withdrawal policy was the condemnation of seventeen Stanier Black Five 4-6-0 which had suffered some condemnations up until now and the condemnation of no less than twelve BR Standards including seven 9F 2-10-0s with six of them being less than seven years old. Why these modern freight engines were not transferred to replace some of the more ancient freight engines still in traffic is a mystery to me. One final withdrawal in May 1964 was class 33 diesel locomotive D6502 damaged beyond repair following a collision at Itchingfield Junction.

    All Our Yesterdays – 55 Years Ago – June 1964

    Diesel locomotive building was being undertaken by British Railways workshops at Darlington and Derby building class 25’s and Crewe building class 47’s. Locomotive contractors were also in production with English Electric building at Vulcan Foundry class 37’s and Brush were building class 47’s at Loughborough.

    New locomotives:
    Class 25 – D5275/76/77/78/79/80/81, D7593/94/95
    Class 37 – D6938
    Class 47 – D1591/92/93/94/95/96/97/98/99, D1600, D1731/33/39/40/41/43/44

    Main line diesel production in the month decreased from the previous month to twenty eight. Steam withdrawals in the month increased again from the preceding few months at two hundred and thirty six condemned (spread over fifty three classes). The Beeching era branch line closures were starting to be felt by the locomotive fleet with forty one 2-6-2T or 2-6-4T tank engine condemnations which included eight BR Standards. At least four steam locomotives withdrawn in June 1964 survived being broken up, Hall class 4-6-0’s 5967, 6960 and 7903 and Somerset and Dorset 2-8-0 58909.

    Main line diesel production in the month increased from the previous month to thirty four including Swindon commencing delivery of Class 14’s. Steam withdrawals in the month decreased to one hundred and sixty five condemned (spread over forty nine classes), although three locomotives were subsequently reinstated. The Beeching era branch line closures continued to be felt by the locomotive fleet with another thirty 2-6-2T or 2-6-4T tank engine condemnations which included ten BR Standards and thirty four 0-6-0PT Pannier tanks. In addition to the ten BR Standard 2-6-4T’s condemned another four BR standards were withdrawn including class 4, 2-6-0 76097 which was less than seven years old.

    Diesel locomotive building was being undertaken by British Railways workshops at Darlington and Derby building class 25’s, Crewe building class 47’s and Swindon building class 14’s. Locomotive contractors were also in production with English Electric building at Vulcan Foundry class 37’s, Beyer Peacock building class 17’s and Brush were building class 47’s at Loughborough.

    New locomotives:
    Class 14 – D9504/05/06/07
    Class 17 – D8598/99, D8600
    Class 25 – D5289/90/91/92, D7597
