Derelict Class 11 0-6-0 shunter 12083 rusts away in a siding at Market Bosworth on the Battlefield Line, 8th July 2023. In the thirteen years since I last photographed this locomotive the only thing that seems to have happened to it is it has moved around 50 yards to the other siding at Market Bosworth.
Locomotive History
In 1945 the London Midland and Scottish Railway began building at Derby works a batch of diesel electric 0-6-0 shunting engines. By the formation of British Railways on the 1st January 1948 fifteen had been completed and construction was continued by British Railways until 1952 when one hundred and six had been built. They were numbered 12033 – 12138 and were the forerunner of the class 08 design. They were later classified as class 11 and the class remained intact until May 1967 when 12104 was condemned. Withdrawals continued until October 1972 when the last of the class 12127 was withdrawn. 12083 was built in 1950 at Derby works and spent its entire British Railway career at Carlisle being withdrawn from Carlisle Kingmoor in October 1971. Following withdrawal it was sold for industrial use at the Tilcon Quarry, Grassington, where it worked until 1998 when it was sold for preservation. Initially based at the South Yorkshire Railway at Meadowhall until the 1st August 2001 when it moved to Shackerstone.
Surrounded by wagons and with a “Not to be Moved” sign attached it would appear that 66602 is out of traffic and in need of some tender loving care at Leeds Midland Road depot, 8th February 2015.

s'more neighbors of mine when I lived in Allentown, PA this summer for internship number 1
i excitedly accepted the internship and found an apartment in a rowhouse before I'd even been to Allentown... let alone Pennsylvania. when i told people at work that i lived downtown, they gasped. one by one.
living downtown wasn't bad, non-downtowners (mostly white) were just caught up with the their newspaper headlines of mounting murders in that area and the recent influx of puerto rican immigrants.
it pained me to have outsiders look down on the downtown neighborhoods and i became defensive. they were just missing out on the spice of it.

Both of the named preserved Class 40’s (40012 Aureol and 40013 Andania) where stabled in the yard, in the sun at Barrow Hill on the 8th October 2017. Neither locomotive was suitably positioned for a decent photograph, however I did spot this opportunity for this green/blue nameplate comparison. Twenty five class 40’s carried the names of famous ocean going liners on cast brass plates from around 1962 until they began to be removed by British Rail during the 1970’s, as the Class 40’s were no longer considered as front line passenger engines and they were also attracting unwanted interest from "collectors". MV Aureol was a 14,000 ton passenger ship built by Alexander Stephen and Son, Glasgow in 1951 for the Liverpool – West Africa service operated by Elder Dempster Lines. Aureol was broken up in 2001. RMS Andania was a 14,000 ton passenger ship built by Hawthorn Leslie, Newcastle, in 1921 for the Europe – North America routes operated by Cunard. Andania was converted into an Armed Merchant Cruiser at the start of World War II, becoming HMS Andania. She was sunk by a German U Boat on the 16th June 1940, 110 miles south of Iceland.
