Bank Hall Locomotive Depot in 1948: two ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire engines outside the smaller through Shed: ex-L&Y 1F 0-6-0T No. 11535, fitted with dumb buffers and swinging spark-arrestor for working in the Docks; behind it is Class 30 6F 0-8-0 No. 12782. (Beyond can be glimpsed an 8F 2-8-0 with the unusual combination of 'M' as well as the BR initial '4' added to its number).

Recording Locomotive Sightings 1943 - 1968
A generation of enthusiasts recorded the movements of locomotives around the railway system. These records of visits to locomotive depots have been collected and carefully analysed to provide an overall portrait for the period 1943 to 1968. During that period of steam's final years, there was a marked change from the pre-grouping types that still found work at a few depots, to the modern BR designs that worked until the end in 1968. The handling of freight and passenger services was a major undertaking from town and cities, ports, coal mines and factories. All of it traversed the labyrinth of lines that criss-crossed the country. There were numerous 'sheds' spread throughout the length and breadth of the land that provided and serviced the vast army of steam locomotives (20,000 in 1948). Here is just a taste of that history.

  1. Thought I'd posted this earlier but it appears not to have worked.
    Please check the date for the closure of Stockport Edgeley MPD as it was Sunday 5th May 1968 not the 6th May 1968. The following is my record of what was on 9B MPD on the final day:

    5th May 1968 Stockport Edgeley MPD - 9B
    D396 D5054 45013 44855 44836 D3988 44868
    48182 Having its coal emptied from its tender
    48191 In Steam
    48115 In Steam
    48278 In Steam
    All three of the above 8F's were transferred to Rose Grove MPD.
    48170 In steam, last steam loco to leave 9B depot, it exploded about a dozen detonators)
    48170 was transferred to Patricroft MPD
    Withdrawn or stored loco's

  2. Please note that you have the date wrong for the closure of (B depot. It was Sunday the 5th May not the 6th May, which was a Monday.
