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.

    I'm not an expert in these matters (that's probably obvious) but could someone tell me how it is known that the Stanier something-or-other visible in the photo at the top of this and all other 'Shed Bash'pages is an 8F rather than a Class 5? If a Class 5 the stock number could be any of LMS 4820-9, which were built 1944-5.

    I cannot be 100% sure but I think that the M above the number is valid. This would make the loco (4)482something. Possibly a loco from a fairly local L&Y depot 26b Agecroft no. 44823 (a class 5MT) . Most of the locos in the 44820-9 range where allocated to the Midland Main Line depots during the late 40's to early 50's and rare in Liverpool. 44823 was the only one allocated to a L&Y shed (like 27a) at this time.

    Furthermore, I notice that in the 26b Agecroft listing on 15th August 1948, 5MT 4823 is identified as a resident of Agecroft shed.

    The spacing of the digits surely indicates that it was a Class 5.
