[John H-T]

The following Classes were noted on the Wirksworth Branch 1963-65:

4F; 8F; 9F; WD 2-8-0; Black Fives; Ivatt Cl 2 2-6-0 Standard 4 4-6-0; Standard 2 2-6-0.

This is interesting as officially all locos with a power classification of greater that clas 5 were banned from the branch! (with the exception of the Crabs.)

Stanier 3 cylinder 2-6-4T, MR Compounds, LT&SR 4-4-2T, NLR 0-6-0T and BR Standard 4 4-6-0s were also banned from the branch .... Interesting.

All this information is in "The Wirksworth Branch" by Howard Sprenger, Oakwood Press, to-gether with numbers of individual locos noted on the branch.

Best wishes,

John H-T.
