    On this day in History - Sheffield MPD’s – 4th March 1973.

    A tour around the code 41 depots of the Sheffield area.

    Shirebrook (41J)
    Class 08 (3325/33, 4035), class 20 (8025/56/65, 8128/30, 8306/08), class 25 (5167/83, 5214), class 31 (5541, 5830/40/58), class 37 (6788, 6826/68), class 47 (1772/88/96, 1897, 1977/80/81/83).
    Barrow Hill (41E) (Failed)
    Class 03 (2389), class 08 (3209, 3401), class 20 (8314), class 47 (1629, 1784).
    Tinsley (41A)
    Class 08 (3015/32/35/37, 3288/89/93, 3310, 3405, 3574, 3659, 3897, 3981, 4034/39/47), class 13 (4500/02), class 20 (8020/23/59/60), class 25 (5169/71/74, 5228/29/33/52, 7562), class 31 (5548, 5819/52), class 37 (6724/36, 6800/05/08/24/27), class 45 (68/69/83, 131), class 47 (1101/09, 1773/79, 1863).
    Wath (41C)
    Class 08 (3060/61/62/63/64, 4032/33/37), class 25 (5175/84/85), class 31 (5583), class 37 (6789/94, 6803/22/36/61/63/67, 6915), class 47 (1785/97), class 76 (76006/07/08/09/13/18/23/25/30/36/38/48/50/55.

    At least one hundred and twenty one locomotives in an area that nearly forty years later you would be lucky to find five operational locomotives. Things to note are the abundance of class 25’s, (Tinsley had a batch of class 25/0’s on allocation at this time) and 3035 and 3037 which had been withdrawn the previous December and would be converted unsuccessfully into snowploughs ADB966508 and ADB966510 respectively, both broken up in 1979

    A number of the above locomotives were photographed later in their careers and can be seen in this collection.

    Locomotives of note were ex Southern Region class 08’s 3092/94/98 and 3100 which were withdrawn and were about to undergo an overhaul having been sold for export to a Liberian company, LAMCo and 24049 which had been in the works for almost a year receiving a replacement cab with the later style roof mounted headcode box. This was following an accident at Kidsgrove when the No2 end cab was crushed back to the bulkhead with the bulkhead bent backwards into the boiler compartment.

    A number of the above were photographed later in life and can be found in this collection. As always feedback and comments welcome

    On this day in History - Day Excursion to Plymouth - 11th March 1972

    One way in the early 1970’s of travelling to interesting railway destinations on the cheap was to become a Notts County Football Club supporter for the day and use their football special train (Footex). Being in the old Division 3 at this time meant little risk of football hooligans and some interesting railway destinations. On this day forty years ago Notts County played Plymouth away and I used the Magpies Footex for a trip to the South West and back with traction being provided by Peak 95 and in lieu of the match a bus ride/walk out to Laira MPD. Result of the match was a 1-1 draw.

    Nottingham – Plymouth
    Class 03 (2133), class 08 (3057, 3112/67, 3248, 3345/90, 3505/13/17, 3785, 3808, 4004/22, 4121/23/49/60/67/73/85), class 20 (8069/72), class 25 (5225/29/32/36/67, 7519/23/29/36, 7603/25/26/28), class 31 (5562, 5636, 5824), class 33 (6506/16/24), class 35 (7004/07/09/12/45/74), class 42 (813/24/66), class 44 (2/8), class 45 (16/23/30/47/59/69/75/85/88/94/95, 107/11/15/22/26/29), class 46 (156/62), class 47 (1540/44/83/99, 1603/08/23/33/75, 1740, 1805/33/54, 1910), Steam (46201), PWM652.
