31/08/1948 Crewe Works The construction of the new Class '2' 2-6-2T's is going ahead steadily, and during the past month no less than nine locomotives of this type have been turned out. They were completed as follows: Nos. 41212 (6/8), 41213 (11/8), 41214 (13/8), 41215 (18/8), 41216 (20/8), 41217 (25/8), 41218 (27/8), 41219 (1/9) and 41220 (3/9). Two more 'Patriot' Class 4-6-0's have been rebuilt with taper boilers-No. 5527 was completed on 12/8 and No. 5535 on 31/8. Nos. 5523/45 will shortly be similarly dealt with.
The appearance of No. 46244 in a new shade of blue created quite a sensation among enthusiasts and enginemen alike. The engine is lined black and white, together with the British Railways' crest displayed on the tender sides.
More ex L.N.W.R. locomotives have gone to the scrap heap recently, they were cut up as follows:-W/E 31/7 No. 6681; W/E 7/8 Nos. 6653, 6689, 7959, 28535; W/E 14/8 Nos. 6870, 9273; W/E 21/8 Nos. 28097, 28367, 28586; W/E 28/8 Nos. 7948, 9309, 28088; W/E Nos. 7787, 8913, 28234.
Class '5' 4-6-0 No. 4830, recently underwent a general repair and has now returned to traffic as a coal-burning engine
