EX-Great Central Class B7 4-6-0 at Darnall Locomotive Depot
A forlorn survivor of the very competent Robinson Class 9Q 4-6-0s, which were worn out struggling over the Woodhead Line in World War Two. No. 1386, still in very dirty LNER livery in 1949, was former LNER No. 5034, built as recently as 8/22 and was about to be withdrawn in 6/49. (See also

Darnall Locomotive Depot
View eastward of the Depot, in relatively pristine condition just six years after it was opened (on 11/4/43), a 'thoroughly modern' steam depot that was required urgently in World War Two to replace the very antiquated and confined Depot at Neepsend. These were the principal ex-Great Central Depots in Sheffield, providing many of the locomotives handling the passenger and - immense - freight traffic originating in the area and conveyed on the ex-GC main axes, Manchester - Sheffield - Nottingham and the South/Doncaster - Scunthorpe - Grimsby/Lincoln etc. In 1950 in the Eastern Region of BR it was coded 39B (in the Manchester District) and had an allocation of 95, comprising:- 18 4-6-0s, 1 4-4-2, 30 2-8-0s, 21 0-6-0s, 2 4-4-2Ts, 18 0-6-2Ts, 3 0-6-0Ts and 2 0-4-0Ts. The photograph shows a representative selection on a quiet Sunday morning. The Depot did not last long: it was closed to steam on 17/6/63 and totally on 4/10/65.
