Nantgarw colliery and coke works, Mid Glamorgan, 28th February 1987.
Both closed in November 1986, leaving their motive power redundant.
First in the line is No.7, Hunslet 6973 of 1968, then the three Derby 1949/1950 built class 11's, No.6 (12071), No.5 (12063), No.4 (12071).
None of the class 11's survived.

This picture appeared in Modern Rail Album, one of two Bradford Barton volumes edited by A.W. Hobson for the Phoenix Railway Photographic Circle. in that book it was well reproduced with only a little of the left hand side cut. The problems of print to ink reproduction meant a loss of contrast but no gain in detail, much of the sky being lost, it may be that Peter sent a print which lacked this already.
Here is the picture scanned; The view is a late afternoon in November 1970, it shows D117 waiting for a class 11 shunter and train to cross in front of it. The Peak was working a freight to Bescot yard and the crewe have taken advantage of the stop to stretch their legs.
D117 was a Crewe built locomotive, new to Derby 09/09/1961, under TOPS it became 45130 in June 1974. The loco was withdrawn 10/05/1987 and cut by M.C. Metals at Springburn 03/06/1993.

@a-Hertogenbosch: at the head of an overnight car sleeper train 27/05/91.
The first coach is an Italian sleeper and the last 2 look to be in SNCF livery so assume this was heading to France then Italy.

BR class 11 12082 climbs the incline at Northside Lane Crossing with 2R88 12:30 Alresford to Ropley. The limited capacity brakevan trips certainly seemed popular.

British Railways 350hp 0-6-0DE (later TOPS Class 11) diesel shunter 12114 on the hump at Inward Yard, Hull - c.1953.
The Darlington Works built (1952) shunter (almost certainly carrying BR black livery) was new to Dairycoates (53A) depot and survived in BR service until 1970, but not long enough to receive a TOPS number.

Ex-BR class11 12084 is seen shunting loaded coal hoppers at NCB Bates Colliery, Blyth in late 1981.
Built in 1950, this loco spent most of its working life at Carlisle before withdrawal from Crewe in 1971 and subsequent sale to the NCB North East area who finally scrapped it at their Philadelphia workshops in Co Durham in 1985.
A selection of early diesel shunters at Crewe South shed, in the mid-60s..
On the left is 12055, which entered service in 1949, and was withdrawn in July 1971, and scrapped in May 1972. Behind that is ex-LMS jackshaft-driven 12031, which entered service in July 1942, and was withdrawn at the end of 1967, and scrapped in July 1968. Also on shed are a BR Sulzer Type 2 - later Class 25 - and Class 08 shunter, and LMS Stanier 'Black 5' 4-6-0, and Ivatt 'Flying Pig' 2-6-0..
Crewe South shed closed in November 1967, and today (2016) the site is partially overgrown with trees and bushes, but there are still some freight sidings in use..

AD878 was at the Longmoor Military Railway, and was named 'Basra'.
However, the railway lists it as AD601 (and the number 7120*).
* but didn't 7120 become 12033, which was cut up in May 1970

A Mankato-bound UP manifest freight prepares to depart Hoffman Yard while the CP Dresser Turn approaches the CB&Q style signals at Hoffman Interlocking on the BNSF St. Paul Sub. Meanwhile, an eastbound BNSF oil train meets the two westbounds ruining my chances of snagging solid CP power in good afternoon light. At least this photo shows the nonstop action at this iconic location! September 2019
Ex-BR class 10 D3452 is seen at English China Clay's Fowey plant on a baking hot 7th August 1976. An interesting wagon turntable is in the foreground of this Instamatic shot.
This was during a 2 week All Line Rover, where we took a bus from Par station specially to see this and the others on site D3476 and D3497. Wish we'd taken our sunglasses as the china clay dust everywhere was blinding !
D3452 was originally an ER machine but moved to Toton from where it was withdrawn in 1968 as the class 10s were considered non standard. It was sold into industrial service here in Cornwall where it worked for 20 years, before being saved by the Bodmin & Wenford Railway trust who have repainted it into early BR black livery.
The photographer and date the photo was taken are unknown. A digitally restored image from an original negative in my collection.
This ex LMS shunter was withdrawn in July 1970, whilst allocated to Chester. It was then sold to the NCB for further use in the South Wales collieries. This photograph at Cardiff Canton, was taken during this period of NCB use. It was finally cut up at AR Adams in Newport, Gwent, in April 1984.
A visit to the opencast coal mine operated by Derek Crouch at Widdrington on 29th March 1981.
One of their two ex-BR class 11 shunters is seen with the engine out for overhaul. This is the former D12093, sold into industrial service in 1971 when withdrawn from BR and operated here until 1988 when it and classmate D12052 moved northwards for preservation at the Caledonian Railway at Brechin.
Built by MAVAG in Budapest, Hungary, in 1947, Yugoslavian Railways (JZ) class 11 4-8-0 No.11-022 was one of three locos set aside to haul President Tito's 'blue train' and bore the blue livery for that purpose. It is now plinthed outside Belgrade Central station. The class 11s were one of the largest and most successful series of steam locomotives on the network of former JZ and the fleet total was 365. Most of them worked in Croatia, where they hauled express and semi-fast passenger trains on routes from Zagreb until replaced by the class 661 diesel-electrics in the 1960s, but continued in use on freight duties until 1981. 11-022 was withdrawn from service in December 1978.

On 25th March 1986 ex-BR class 11 No.12074 stands as spare locomotive at Swalwell Disposal Point operated by Johnson's (Chopwell) Ltd at Dunston-upon-Tyne. Introduced into BR service from Derby Works in September 1950 and withdrawn from Chester shed during January 1972, the loco served in industrial service in the North East for many years before being bought by Harry Needle and subsequently broken up by HNRC at EMR Kingsbury in July 2002.
