West Riding Allocations
Recent announcements have me overjoyed, but raise a few interesting questions....
My "patch" is Harrogate and thereabouts, but I'll find pretty much any excuse to run whatever I want to
Oxford N7: The locomotive section of this website states some were allocated to the West Riding in the twenties. Any idea which shed ?
Hornby J36: Again some ended up at Malton in WW2, surely they found their way just 30 miles west ?
Bachmann G5: No such issues here and I'll probably have to get myself a couple. One will be a Starbeck engine, but the star turn will be the Pateley Bridge push-pull fitted loco.
I've stretched credibility a bit in the past but these new announcements don't present so many quandaries.

Re: West Riding Allocations
According to the RCTS 'Locomotives of the LNER' part 9B, 7990 went new to Ardsley, and 7991/6/7 went new to Bradford. All returned south between June and September 1924.

Re: West Riding Allocations
Thanks for the reply Darryl,
Very helpful.
Just surprises me how much stock movement there was in those times.
It must have taken some major logistical exercises, both physical and clerical to achieve them.
Just begs the question what was the aim when there were so many easier "local" options ?
The J36 allocation to Malton being a case in point.

Re: West Riding Allocations
Which J36 was allocated to Malton? over the years a few were based on mostly NBR lines in Northumberland
Hi interested in the area served by 52D. also researching colliery wagonways from same area.

Re: West Riding Allocations
where's Borough Gardens? Google is showing it as being in Cornwall.
if it's relatively close to York I might well be able to justify one

Re: West Riding Allocations
Newcastle Central Freight depot on the Gateshead - Felling line was built on the site of Borough Gardens shed.

Re: West Riding Allocations
Borough Gardens finished up as a long "roundhouse" incorporating no less than 4 turntables in a line - not many depots can boast that!

Re: West Riding Allocations
The N7s were only in W Yorkshire for between 6 and 9 months. A good assumption would be that it was to compare their performance 'over the Alps' with the native engines. There was some N7 swapping in the London Area but, generally, most if not all types fared better on their home turf.
The N7s were designed for fast acceleration and rapid braking of heavily loaded commuter trains on the GE London Area lines that had short distances between stations.
Re: West Riding Allocations
When you say "Over the Alps" do you mean they were used on the Queensbury lines ?
Just curious as it would certainly fit with their documented performance abilities.
