Thanks for the further confirmation of locations, Dave @Yorkshire Dave and to Martin @Martin Shaw for the question about Haywards Heath. I appreciate your signalling comment too, Tim @timbowales .
Thanks, Brian @2-Bil . I suspected there'd be something in this last set of pictures which may attract your attention!
I'm pleased to say that I've now either added correcting details to the commentaries or separated the comments out in to a separate file. It took a while but is well worth the effort. However, for now we're back to more standard fare.
Seen previously in post #3036 is A4 60008 Dwight D Eisenhower on a down Newcastle train at Potters Bar on 23rd June 1962. At the time of the photo this was a Kings Cross engine and had been since October 1957. It moved to New England in June 1963 and was withdrawn in July the same year. (SLS). On 27th April 1964 it was shipped to the USA and is now in the museum at Green Bay, Wisconsin. See 60008 Dwight D Eisenhower (LNER 4496, LNER 598, LNER 8 & BR 60008)
Britannia 70040 Clive of India on a down Cleethorpes train at Potters Bar on 23rd June 1962. Seen previously in posts #2502 and #2671 70040 was an Immingham engine since December 1960, moving to Carlisle Upperby in December 1963 and then Kingmoor in March 1964 where it was withdrawn in April 1967. (SLS). It went to J McWilliams, Shettleston where it was scrapped in November. (BR Database).
This loco was previously in post #1435. A3 60109, Hermit on a down Leeds train at Potters Bar on 23rd June 1962. It was fitted with the trough smoke deflectors in January 1961. It was a Kings Cross loco from April 1959 from where it was withdrawn at the end of December 1962. (BR Database and SLS). It went to Doncaster for disposal which was completed in early April 1963.
