![Longmoor Military Railway 2-10-0 no 601 <I>Kitchener</I> photographed on Kingmoor shed on 31 May 1958. The locomotive had been 'borrowed' by the Scottish Region in June 1957, primarily in connection with tests involving Ravenscraig iron ore workings using an air-braked locomotive. It had also been put to revenue earning use on various other freight workings during its stay. 601 entered the North British Works for overhaul in June 1958 emerging as an oil burner the following October.<br><br>[Robin Barbour Collection (Courtesy Bruce McCartney) 31/05/1958]](/images/32000/32036.jpg "Carlisle Kingmoor Shed")

![A notable visitor to Kingmoor on 5 July 1958. The much travelled Stanier 8F no 48773 was built by the North British Locomotive Co in 1940 for the War Department (works no 24607). It was originally intended to operate in France but was instead sent to Persia in 1941, becoming Persian State Railways no 41-109. During its time in Persia the locomotive sustained damage in a derailment following a collision with a camel. In 1944 it was converted to oil firing. Four years later it went to Suez where it was almost scrapped following major mechanical problems but eventually made its way back to Derby Works for attention during 1952. Following overhaul the locomotive emerged as WD no 500 and was sent to the Longmoor Military Railway. The 8F was taken into BR stock in 1957, becoming no 48773 and allocated to Polmadie shed. Withdrawal came in 1962, only to see it reinstated in November the following year at Kingmoor (some records show an intervening temporary reinstatment between February and July 1963 while still at Polmadie). After a number of further moves the locomotive's final BR port of call was Rose Grove, from where it was withdrawn by BR for the last time in August 1968, having hauled the MRTS/SVRS 'Farewell to Steam' special a few days earlier [see image 36292]. Today 48773 can be seen on display in the Engine House at Highley on the Severn Valley Railway. <br><br>[Robin Barbour Collection (Courtesy Bruce McCartney) 05/07/1958]](/images/36000/36317.jpg "Carlisle Kingmoor Shed")

![A long way from the quayside! ES1 electric locomotive 26501 stands on Kingmoor shed minus collector shoes and pantograph (not that they'd have been much use here). Both class ES1 locomotives (the other being 26500) were withdrawn from Newcastle's quayside branch in early 1964 following which they were taken to Hellifield, where the old shed was used by the NRM to assess, store and refurbish potential preservation material. The photograph is thought to show 26501 on its way back to the north east from Hellifield in 1966. Following some talk of private preservation, 26501 appears to have been abandoned in a siding near the former station at Choppington, Northumberland, where she was eventually cut up in August 1966. On a happier note, no 26500 was later restored and refurbished and is currently a star exhibit at the NRM centre at Shildon. [see image 17307]. <br>
