Eastleigh Works and T&RSMD, 19th January 2025

 


47593 Galloway Princess (formerly 47790, earlier D1973, BR Crewe, November 1965) arrived at the Works, on 9th January, with stock from Locomotive Services at Crewe.


3344 BEN CRUACHAN was one of the coaches which arrived on 9th January, part of The Statesman rake, which will be refurbished through until September 2025.


These are believed to be BSK 35333, a locomotive support coach, in the Works for several years; and TS 41059 which arrived on 23rd September.


The FOS at right are 3122 (nearer) and 3100 (farther), both of which arrived on 9th January.


The Works offces, and one-time drawing office, are looking in a sad way, with some recent boarding-up. The gates are now closed during work days, suggesting a lack of tenants. A 1909-10 picture is at this page.


701008 and 701006, now approaching 5 years old, and not used in traffic.
