Dave - Thanks once again for filling in gaps in the headcode info, and particularly your info about the buildings in Vauxhall.
Here's another four. These are still dated as 1964. The first is Waterloo again, and exactly as I remember it. From the left what I believe to be a Bulleid 4-SUB which hopefully Dave will confirm. Next an unidentified Standard 5 4-6-0, then one of the Giesl fitted air smoothed Battle of Britains, 34064, Fighter Command on a Cunard Line boat train and finally Standard 3 2-6-2T 82023.
34064 was the 1000th loco to be built at Brighton Works and the first to be fitted with a vee shaped cab. In 1964 it was shedded at Eastleigh, being withdrawn from there in the June. Any info on where it went from there will be gratefully received - I can find nothing except that it had been scrapped by the end of November. It doesn't appear to have ever been in the Barry cohort.
82023 was a Nine Elms engine from November 1962, was withdrawn in October 1966. It went to Cashmore's, Newport where it was scrapped in March 1967.
The boat train head code is (I think) self explanatory as being Waterloo - Southampton. 82023 and the Standard 5 are carrying Waterloo to Clapham Junction empty trains and light engines indicators, so probably ECS.
Back at Vauxhall is Merchant Navy 35008, Orient Line, on what I believe to be the Bournemouth Belle. The headcode is Waterloo - Bournemouth West via Sway (thanks Dave!) In 1964 it was a Bournemouth engine, moving to Weymouth Radipole in October 1966 and then to Nine Elms in April 1967. It lasted to the very end, on 9th July 1967, and although recorded as scrapped in September 1968 I can't find out where. It's another that doesn't appear to have survived via Barry.
Also at Vauxhall is rebuilt West Country 34024, Tamar Valley, and once again I'll appreciate help with the headcode. 34024 was a Bournemouth engine, withdrawn from there at the end of steam on the Southern and scrapped in March 1968 at Cashmore's Newport.
Standard Class 5 73171. Waterloo or Nine Elms to Plymouth. The shed code is clearly 70B, Feltham, which suggests it may have been pressed in to passenger service during a shortage of main line express motive power. It moved from Feltham to Eastleigh in November 1964, was withdrawn from there at the beginning of October 1966 and went to Cashmore's Newport where it was scrapped in March 1967.
The more information comes to light about the locos and their allocations in this series the more I believe the proposed date of 1964 is correct, and probably in the first half of the year - certainly no later than June.
