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Photographs in this gallery are of locomotive depots, both steam and diesel, locomotive works, stabling points and withdrawn locomotives but not those being scrapped.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. These pictures are published for pleasure/information/research purposes only and are not for sale or copy under any circumstances. Information in captions has been researched as thoroughly as possible but its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

Neither do I wish to enter into correspondence with any individual or group regarding my pictures or their captions. All comments reflect my personal opinions and I am not prepared to discuss these with anyone or to spend the rest of my life answering inane questions. I apologise for this disclaimer but I'm afraid it has been forced upon me. I have no wish to offend anyone and I hope you will continue to enjoy my pictures at your leisure.

DONCASTER WORKS - It is 1982 and all of the 'Deltic's have been withdrawn. Pending a decision on what their fate was to be, they are seen here lined up in the yard at the Works. They are not all here - 8 are missing, because some were withdrawn earlier and have already been cut up: 55001 in February 1980, 55003 in March 1981, 55006 in July 1981, 55012 in September 1981, 55020 in February 1980. 55002 had already gone into preservation. 55014 and 55018 must be parked elsewhere. Seen here are 55007, 55004, 55022, 55016, 55005, 55017, 55013, 55011, 55008, 55021, 55010, 55019, 55009 and 55015 in that order.
