10001 1948 Derby Works

10001 1948 Derby Works

Although No.10000 was outshopped before nationalisation, its 'twin' No.10001 did not appear until July 1948 and therefore did not have the cast LMS insignia that was given to No.10000. This picture was taken in the Diesel Shop at Derby Works as the diesel-electric neared completion.

This Shop was known as 7 Shop. This Shop was used for the development, building, and testing of the APT tilting trains. in earlier years it was solely for the use of dimantling redundant Steam Locomotives. prior to closure, all bogies for Class 158 units were made in this Shop. Also ALL Class 08 Shunters were manufactured in this area Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";}
