Embsay/Bolton Abbey STORED - a photo on Flickriver

            3 proud old locomotives being stored at Embsay Bolton Abbey Railway.

First up, "D1524," entering preservation having been bought by the Newton Heath Diesel Traction Group. Former EWS celebrity Class 47 (47 004), having been painted up in two-tone green for an open day, it also has a steam-heat boiler, which makes it a strong candidate to provide back-up.

Secondly; "Wheldale ~ NCB S134" -  is a standard Austerity, from one of the first batches to be built by Hunslet Engine Company, Leeds. It was a development of their 18″ 50550 class, to which S112 belongs. It was built in 1944, bearing their works number 3168. Although it is referred to by its NCB number, S134, it became part of the Army’s fleet, based at Bicester, as their No. 134; it would appear that the coal board simply added an ‘S’ prefix later. Wheldale came to the railway from NCB Wheldale Colliery, Castleford, where it had been at work until the early 1980’s. 

Thirdly; "D.5600" is another of the Newton Heath Diesel Traction Group's Class 31s and has been on the line for a while in storage. D5600 was built by Brush Traction in Loughborough and released for service on 24th March 1960 and allocated to Hornsey Shed (34B). Originally built with a Mirlees 12 cylinder power unit and known as a Class 30 under TOPS (Total Operations Processing System), however the Mirlees power units were unsuccessful and in 1964 a programme of works commenced to re-engine the fleet with English Electric 12SVT engines. D5600 was renumbered to 31179 on 1st January 1973.
