Summary
[edit]| Description | Ministry of Supply "Austerity" 18" 0-6-0ST No.106 at Woodham Brothers Scrapyard, Barry, 10/64. Built by Hunslet (Works No.2889) in 1943 for the War Department and first numbered 75040 and named "Spyck", it was used at WD Longmoor (the LMR - Longmoor Military Railway). In the WD 1951 renumbering scheme it became No.106 and used at WD Marchwood until withdrawn in 1963 and moved to Barry where it was scrapped. Scanned photograph taken with an Halina 35X Super camera. Intended for use by the WD at military sites, open cast coal and disposal points and collaries inn the UK and with the armed forces abroad, both during and after the war, the "Austerities" were designed by R.A. Riddles of the M.o.S and Hunslet. They were essentially a development of Hunslet's 18" "48150" and "50550" 0-6-0ST's, with changes in materials and detail design to aid production and minimise use of strategic materials. They were had a life expectancy of 2 years of, admittedly arduous, service but many lasted until the end of industrial steam in the UK in the 1970's. They were extremely rugged and reliable and could operate with minimum maintenance. | |||||||||||||
