    All Our Yesterdays – 60 Years Ago –January 1959

    Sixty years ago the last 9F 2-10-0 Standard class steam locomotives were still in production, diesel shunter production was in full swing as was delivery of the Pilot Scheme mainline locomotives. There was also a steady flow of new diesel multiple units.

    In the month one hundred and six steam locomotives were withdrawn, forty two being over fifty years old with Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway 23 Class 0-6-0ST 51313 being the oldest, having entering traffic in March 1877 and condemned eighty one years later. The majority of these withdrawals were the older secondary main line and branch line passenger engines, steam shunting engines and older freight engines being displaced by the continued delivery of the last of the 9F standards, the pilot scheme main line diesels, diesel multiple units and diesel shunting engines. Thirty five engines condemned were built post the 1923 grouping with the youngest engine condemned being Great Western Railway 0-6-0PT 3740 at only twenty one years old.

    In the month one hundred and fifty one steam locomotives were withdrawn, forty one being over fifty years old with London Brighton and South Coast Railway Stroudley 0-6-0T W3 being the oldest, having entering traffic in March 1881 and condemned seventy eight years later The majority of these withdrawals were the older secondary main line and branch line passenger engines, steam shunting engines and older freight engines being displaced by the continued delivery of the last of the 9F standards, the pilot scheme main line diesels, diesel multiple units and diesel shunting engines. Forty one engines condemned were built post the 1923 grouping and rather surprisingly given the still large numbers of elderly steam engines in service fifteen modern Great Western Railway 94xx 0-6-0PT’s built just prior to and after nationalisation between 1947 and 1954 were condemned. The youngest 94xx condemned was 9492 which was just five years old.

    All Our Yesterdays – 60 Years Ago –July 1959

    Sixty years ago the last 9F 2-10-0 Standard class steam locomotives were still in production (although non delivered in this month), diesel shunter production was in full swing as was the final deliveries of the Pilot Scheme and the early deliveries of the production series of mainline locomotives. There was also a steady flow of new diesel multiple units.
