Summary
[edit]| Description | Ministery of Supply "Austerity" 18" 0-6-0ST No.2890 of 1943 for the War Department but registered by the GWR as their No.1922 and presumably used by that company. Post war it was returned to the WD as their No.75041 "Foggia" and used on the Longmoor Military Railway. The WD renumbered it No.107 in 1951. In 1962 it was rebuilt by Hunslet as their and sold to the NCB, being named "Maureen". The photo shows "Maureen" at the very respectible (for a colliery shed) depot at Maesteg, which had extensive sidings and a long railway line between Maesteg Colliery and Washery and the main GWR/BR(WR) line. Scanned photograph taken 04/67 with a Kowa SET. 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. | |||||||||||||
