Video Title: Ashford Locomotive Works 1959
Date Added: 5/5/2009 5:03:44 PM

Ashford Works in September 1959. Seen underoing overhaul are members of classes C2X (ex-London Brighton & South Coast Railway 0-6-0), Bulleid's 'Austerity' Q1 (ex-Southern Railway 0-6-0, the most poweful engines of this wheel arrangement ever to run in the British Isles) and N (ex-South Eastern & Chatham Railway 2-6-0). We then move outside to view the 'Elephant's Graveyard' of engines destined in the main for the cutters torch. Here we see ex-London & South Western Railway B4 class 0-4-0T No.30084, recently displaced from Dover docks, an ex-LSWR '700' class 0-6-0, an ex-LSWR T9 4-4-0, ex-SECR D class 4-4-0 No.31737 (awaiting restoration, having been chosen to represent the SECR in the National Collection), a pair of ex-LBSC E4 class 0-6-4Ts (Nos.32519 and 32471) and finally the poigniant sight of the last of the former South Eastern Railway R1 class 0-6-0Ts, recently displaced from the banking duties they had performed on the Folkestone Harbour branch since the 19th century by dismal ex-GWR pannier tanks.
