Green liveried 13002 Class 13 hump shunter at Tinsley TMD

A front end shot of one of the three elusive 'Master & Slave' hump shunters at Tinsley Depot - 13002 still retained the original green livery when I grabbed this shot - not obvious from the photo though as there's more grime than paint. I cleared the fleet for sight with this one!

The visit to the shed was organised by Dalescroft Railfans Club [see below]:

I remember joining 'Dalescroft Railfans Club' in the early 1970s, around 1973 when I was just 11 years old, and waiting avidly for the monthly magazine which had all the latest railway news, re-numberings, allocations and sightings from around the country. There were adverts for railway tours visiting exotic places like Manchester and Sheffield, and a couple of years later I was able to join a few of those coach tours 'up north'. This was one of said tours - specifically to visit the open day at Crewe Works in 1975.

Some interesting 'gen' on Dalescroft Railfans Club here: rcts.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=377
e.g. "I seem to recall a cheaply produced newsletter with observations and stock alterations. Amongst the gen was the first renumbering to five digit TOPS numbers of Classes 27 and 45. So that would put it at about 1972 to 1973."
"Its main activity in the early 1970s was shed bashing trips by road coach, these were listed in the Coming Events column of Railway Magazine. "
