Surplus from Newport hump yard work due to the building of Tees Yard and looking for a new home, happily for 69913 it would be soon be found at York until 1958. These were powerful machines and John Atkinson recally one being attached to the rear of a heavy train at Tyne Dock which had slipped to a halt. The T1 moved the train almost without effort. Sadly no new home could be found for 69911 and it weas broken up in 1957.
