BRITISH RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVE DEPOTS, WORKS AND STABLING POINTS.
Photographs in this gallery are of locomotive depots, both steam and diesel, locomotive works, stabling points and withdrawn locomotives but not those being scrapped. Some of these pictures were taken by me, some passed on by friends and others have been bought and are part of my collection.

LEIGHTON BUZZARD LOCOMOTIVE DEPOT - Leighton Buzzard received its locoshed in 1859 and the LNWR provided a brick-built 2 track through-road shed on the east side of the line, south of the station. As sub-shed of 1E Bletchley, it never boasted a fixed allocation but generally played host to around 6 engines at weekends. It closed in 1962, swept away by the forthcoming electrification programme. Seen here in BR days with a Class 4F 0-6-0 on shed.
