08529 at Peterborough on August 18th 1996.

08529 at Peterborough on August 18^th 1996. It was built at Darlington Works (British Railways) and was completed on March 3^rd 1959. It was withdrawn from service on June 30^th 2005 and scrapped on August 31^st 2008.

31196 at Stratford 1996. It Took Another Five Years To Finally Scrap It!

Brush Locomotive 31196 was built at the Falcon works in Loughborough in 1960.  The Loco’s original number was D5620 and it was allocated to March Depot in Cambridgeshire. It later transferred to Stratford and then to Immingham where it worked for the next twenty odd years.

In 1991 it transferred back to Stratford where it was withdrawn from service in February 1993. 31196 was stored at Stratford until 2001 when it was scrapped on site. It’s pictured here falling to pieces and being cannibalized at Stratford Depot in April 1996. It had to wait like this for another five years before finally being scrapped.

31407 was renumbered from D5640 on December 31 1973 and eventually scrapped in 2006. 31459 was renumbered from D5684to 31256 on the same day and again to 31459 on 14 December 1984. The loco was named Cerberus on June 16 1999. I believe that the loco was allocated to Fragonset Railways at Derby but am not sure about it’s eventual fate.

Isle of Man Steam Railway No.11 Maitland @ Port Erin 1999.

Isle of Man Steam Railway No. 11 Maitland pictured at Port Erin June 6 1999

Stalwart of the fleet, rarely out of service, the second of the company's 1905 locomotives was named after company director, Dalrymple Maitland, and is fondly remembered by several generations of enthusiasts as the longest-serving fleet member. Having been in regular service since delivery, a re-boilering in 1959 ensured her future well into the final years of company operation, through the Ailsa years and into nationalisation

 

No. 11 Maitland is currently withdrawn from service and undergoing long-term re-build
