The first was withdrawn in 1927, and only one survived by nationalisation in 1948. That railmotor, LMS No. 10617, was withdrawn in 1948 and given the British Railways internal number 50617, but got withdrawn in March of the same year. None were preserved.

2008年6月6日 · That railmotor, LMS No. 10617, was withdrawn in 1948 without being given a British Railways number. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Hughes 4-6-4T was a class of steam locomotives. They were a 4-6-4T tank engine version of the L&YR Class 8 ("Dreadnought" Class 4-6-0), hence they were known as "Dreadnought tanks".

Entered service as LLYR 18 during December 1911. Became LMS 10617 after the 1923 grouping. Withdrawn March 1948 without being allocated a BR number.

These were the only self-propelled vehicles numbered in the LMS locomotive series rather than the coaching stock series.

2021年9月18日 · I'm interested where these Hughes Railmotors (L&YR numbers 1-18, LMS numbers 10600-10617) were allocated during their working lives. Shed Bash UK (a great online resource) starts at 1938 and shows 10606 and 10617 on shed at Bolton 26C in 1939-41. These two locos, along with 10600 were the last three of this class still in existence at this time.

2022年3月14日 · It's basically an old skool Class 153! I have to assume it’s a shunter. Want to say I’ve seen this design as a small child in Thomas the tank engine maybe? That was decades ago though.
