JZ 0-6-0T No. 62.669 (Carries fictitious 30075)

Posted by: Russell Newman on Dec 27, 2022 @ 06:12:13
This is the history of the Yugoslavian built pirate copy Class 62 USA 0-6-0T No. 30075 (JZ 62.669). During the Second World War the United States of America introduced the S100 Class 0-6-0T for the United States Army Transportation Corps in 1942 to 1943 from the American Steam Locomotives works of Vulcan Ironworks, Davenport and H K Porter. for use out in Europe and other parts of the world during the 1940s. Over 400 S100 Class USA 0-6-0T’s that were sent out to Europe during and after the second world war working in the UK, France, Greece, Hungary, Turkey, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. After the second world war ended many of the S100 Class USA 0-6-0T’s were sold for use out in Europe, in the UK 14 S100 Class USA 0-6-0T’s were sold to the Southern Railway for use at Southampton Docks and for shunting dutys on other parts of the Southern and later British Railways which their BR running numbers where from 30061 to 30074 and Departmental Stock numbers DS233 to DS238 where they worked unitl the end of steam on the Southern in 1967 and some were even sold for use with the National Coal Board in the Northeast of the UK. In Europe Class USA 0-6-0T’s were sold for use with many mainline railway companys and for Industrial use which in the former Yugoslavia they were very successful and popular that the Yugoslavian Railways built there own version of the S100 known as Class 62 USA 0-6-0T at the Duro Dakovic Industrija Lokomotiva works in Croatia which 90 where built from 1952 and 1961. The Yugoslavian built pirate copy Class 62 USA 0-6-0T was different to the S100 as it was slightly more powerful and had frame plates then bar frames like their S100 cousins. Some of the Yugoslavian built pirate copy Class 62 USA 0-6-0T’s are still at work today out in the coal fields of Bosnia. No. 30075 formerly JZ 62.669 was built in 1960 at the Duro Dakovic Industrija Lokomotiva works in Croatia for Industrial use at the Store Steelworks near Ljubljana in Slovenia. It worked there until 1990 when it was bought for preservation in the UK by a group of members from the Swanage Railway in Dorset who formed Project 62 to own the locomotive and later its sister No. 30076 (62.521). JZ 62.669 arrived at the Swanage Railway in 1990 where it was overhauled and modified and altered to fit with in the British loading gauge and made near to look like one of the Southern Railway USA 0-6-0T’s carrying the next British Railways running number in line 30075. No. 30075 ran at the Swanage Railway during the 1990s and has visited the Bristol Harbour Railway and the Bodmin & Wenford Railway during that time. It was withdrawn from service in 1998 following a major steam pipe failure. In 2002 No. 30075 was relocated to the East Somerset Railway where it was returned to traffic in 2004 and operated there for a short while before relocating to the Mid Hants Railway in 2009. In the winter of 2010 No. 30075 visited the Churnet Valley Railway for their then Winter Steam Gala in late January and early February that year as well as a visit to the then Dartmoor Railway in August that year. Following the failure of three old patches to the platework in the inner firebox No. 30075 was withdrawn from service and was relocated to Barrow Hill Roundhouse for display for a short while before moving to the Nottingham Heritage Railway (Great Central Railway (Nottingham) as it was known then) for storage until 2017 when No. 30075 moved to its new home at the North Dorset Railway Trust at the old Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway station at Shillingstone in North Dorset where it is now based and soon to steam again soon.

Great Western Society 4-6-0 No. 2999 'Lady of Legend' (4942 'Maindy Hall')

Posted by: Russell Newman on Dec 26, 2022 @ 14:12:20
This is the story and history of new-re-build GWR Saint Class 4-6-0 No. 2999 "Lady of Legend". The Siants or 2900 Class 4-6-0 was a successful GWR Edwardian design of early express passenger 4-6-0 by George Jackson Churchward. They were built at a time of modernisation on the Great Western Railway in the 1900s. Three prototyes of the Siant Class were built between 1902 and 1905 for testing before they went into production at Swindon from 1905 to 1913 which 77 were built. Sadly none of the orignal 77 Saints survivied as the last one was withdrawn and scrapped in 1953. No. 2999 "Lady of Legend" is the 78th member of the Siant or 2900 Class to be built. The story is the Siant class was later developed into Collett’s smaller wheeled GWR Hall Class Mixed traffic 4-6-0’s which in 1924 No. 2925 "Saint Martin" was rebuilt with the smaller six feet wheels and renumbered No. 4900 to become the prototype of the 4900 Hall Class. The project to build No. 2999 started way back in the 1970s when a group of Great Western Society members bought No. 4942 "Maindy Hall" from Barry Scrapyard for a re-consruction to be a brand new Siant Class 4-6-0. The build used the frames from No. 4942 which were modified to make the newbuild Siant have a much stronger frames then the originals and other parts such as the boiler too. The building of No. 2999 was a mix of brand new parts and recycled GWR parts from No. 4942 used in the construction of the locomotive which was completed in 2019. Since her launch into traffic No. 2999 "Lady of Legend" has filled the missing gap in Great Western Locomotives and is a very popular locomotive at Didcot and on the heritage railway circuit.

Posted by: Russell Newman on Dec 26, 2022 @ 06:12:29
After a number of years of outside storage the former North London Railway 0-6-0T Dock Tank No. 76 (BR No. 58850) is being moved from Horsted Keynes Station for undercover display at Sheffield Park. No. 76 also played a key part in the history of the Bluebell Railway as in its early preservation years No. 76 was hired by contractors to help take up part of the track of the line from Horsted Keynes to Haywards Heath via Ardingly line in 1964 to 1965 when that line closed. Plans are underway for this section of line to be restored for use again to Ardingly soon. No. 76 will have some cosmetic work carried out before going on display in 2023.

No. 4 "Sharpthorn" played a key part in the history of the Bluebell Railway as the locomotive was used in the construction of the Bluebell line in 1877 as Joseph Firbank was the contractor to build the Lewes and East Grinstead Railway which the Bluebell Railway runs on part of it still today.
