1965 photo of 0-6-0Ts being cut up at Eastleigh Workshops in the UK. I think these are former USATC American-built locos. http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?november02/11-09-02/ds235_30066_being_cut-up_at_eastleigh_70d._16_august_1965.jpg ryarger@rypn.org |

Four sister locomotives from this class still remain in Great Britian: 30064 (VIW/4432/1943) at the Bluebell Railway 30065 (VIW/4441/1943) at the Kent & East Sussex Railway 30070 (VIW/4433/1943) at the Kent & East Sussex Railway 30072 (VIW/4446/1943) at Keighley and Worth Valley Railway If my notes are correct, these were assigned to Southern Railway during the war. Interestingly, Yugoslavia's Duro Dakovic Industrija Lokomotiva built replicas of this class of locomotives during the 1950s; one of them 669/1960 was imported into the UK and went to the Swanage Railway; where it was given the number 30075. It was originally JZ 62.669. -James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a Surviving World Steam Locomotives james1@pernet.net |
