BLAYDON Shed
I have recently seen one or two photos showing Pacifics in BR days on Blaydon shed and wonder why?
What were they doing there?
I know a handful of withdrawn late 62/early 63 locos were stored at Blaydon that winter but the shots I'm referring to are a little earlier with "healthy-looking" engines in steam
Did they have any regular workings that supported their visits?
Thanks chaps

Re: BLAYDON Shed
Gateshead Shed was being rebuilt at that time. Large locos were serviced at Blaydon during that period. Pacifcs and V3s were amongst those diverted from GatesheadSTAFFORDA4 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 03, 2018 6:57 pm I have recently seen one or two photos showing Pacifics in BR days on Blaydon shed and wonder why?

Re: BLAYDON Shed
Yes Tweedmouth also recieved big locos at that period although some were cascaded down as the main was being dieselised and the Pacifics were used as station pilot/thunderbird duties.
Hi interested in the area served by 52D. also researching colliery wagonways from same area.

Re: BLAYDON Shed
thank you Gents
I'm guessing this 52A rebuilding would be 1961-62 then
As an aside does any kind correspondent have a list of which Pacifics were stored at Blaydon in the winter of 62/3?
Thanks

Re: BLAYDON Shed
And more
Later there were 4 J39s stored behind the shed just west of the Scotswood railway bridge. I didn't have many J39 photos so I struggled through the undergrowth to photograph them. They were 64942 (moved from its previous resting place), 64865, 64936 and 64860.
