J15 allocations in the 1930s

Post by Jamie R »

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether there were any dual-fitted J15s allocated to New England, Peterborough East or March sheds in the 1930s, please.

Thanks,

Jamie

Hello Jamie,

The following steam-braked J15s were vacuum-fitted between 1932 and 1935:

65356 (2/1933); 65390 (5/1933); 65391 (6/1932); 65405 (4/1932); 65424 (5/1933); 65432 (1/1935); 65438 (7/1934)

The following J15s were dual-fitted (Westo & vacuum) when built:

65440-4; 65450-79

The following J15s were Westo-fitted as built and had the vacuum brake fitted between 1931 and 1932 (the gap in the above series):

65445 (9/1931); 65446 (1/1932); 65447 (2/1932); 65448 (11/1931); 65449 (2/1932)

You can check the individual allocation histories of each locomotive at www.brdatabase.info - use the quick search box on the left :idea:

Thank you very much for that information, 65447. I've had a look at BRDatabase but unfortunately it doesn't seem to cover the LNER era allocations.

The locos I'm looking at are 7542-71 and 7640-9.

Thanks again,

Jamie

Yeadons suggest that only

65356 March 1927-36 and Peterborough East 36-39
or 65432 March to 1935 Cambridge thereafter.
