During this period Gresley decided that it was time to rebuild 10000 as a three cylinder locomotive with a conventional firetube boiler and 10000 was moved to Doncaster Works on 13 October 1936, the first drawing for the modification being prepared at the end of November. When 10000 was finally released from Doncaster Works in November 1937, it was a significantly different locomotive; being fitted with a diagram 111 boiler that was very similar to the diagram 108 boiler fitted to 2006 Wolf of Badenoch, and with a streamlined casing to the same pattern as the A4 class. As many components as possible from the original W1 were used in the rebuild, including the frames, which were shortened by 1½ feet at the front end. Other items, where needed, were sourced from the A4 class, the A3 class or, like the front bogie, from the B17 and an experimental double Kylchap blastpipe and chimney was fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cab, while similar to that of the A4 class, was considerably longer and this led to the retained original tender's coal delivery chute having to be lengthened to compensate for the extra distance from the firebox doors. The original tender was retained, but with superficial modifications, such as to the curvature of the front plates and the addition of streamlined plating to the front and rear, although this was partially removed just a year later, in 1938. Up to the outbreak of war in 1939, and during the war years, 10000 worked mainly on Kings Cross main line duties and with its power and smooth riding it was a popular engine with the LNER's drivers, though less so with the firemen due to the distance between the shovelling plate and the firehole door.

Following allocation to Doncaster on 25 October 1953, 60700 became a more frequent visitor to Leeds and also worked turns to Sheffield, as well as Doncaster to Peterborough passenger services and various braked goods trains.

British Rail awarded the contract to design and build these new engines to Brush Traction in Loughborough, who subsequently sub-contracted the construction to Electroputere in Romania, due to the lack of capacity in their own works. The initial 30 locomotives to be delivered from Romania suffered from transit damage and construction deficiencies and had to be extensively rebuilt before entering service.

Air brakes were fitted for the first time in a British Rail engine and the electrics were improved in a number of areas, resulting in a more robust power unit. Nicknamed as Gridirons or “Grids”, the Class 56 displaced the Class 20 and Class 47 locomotives and commonly undertook the transportation of iron ore, coal, aggregate and steel across the Eastern and London Midland Regions and on the Western Region for aggregate duties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrong and reliable performers, the locomotives were popular, but needed heavy maintenance, particularly when compared against the Class 66 locomotives that came to displace them in service.

The locomotives were used for passenger and freight operations beginning in 1962 in the BR Green livery, before being repainted into the BR Blue colour scheme before further diversification saw them painted in all manner of liveries. Strong performers, these locomotives were among some of the largest to be employed by British Rail. The first five withdrawals were all due to accident damage with the first planned decommissioning taking place in February 1986. As withdrawals began, ostensibly due to a lack of parts the withdrawn engines in turn solved this issue, and therefore the Class 47 disappeared slowly once withdrawals began. In 2023, 30 of the class remained operational on the national network with West Coast Railways being the largest operator, 17 were stored, 33 were converted to the Class 57 and an additional 32 were preserved. No. 47522 ‘Doncaster Enterprise’ was one of the locomotives constructed at Crewe and entered traffic on 9 November 1966 with the running number of D1105. After 8 years in service, the locomotive saw a renumbering change to No. 47522 in March 1974. On 3 October 1987, 47522 was unveiled in a unique LNER like apple green livery and was named ‘Doncaster Enterprise’ at Doncaster Works by Councillor Gladys Ambler, Mayor of Doncaster. After this, the locomotive attained a ‘celebrity’ status. In January 1990, the locomotive was seriously damaged after a crash occurred near Dover. While at Doncaster Works for repairs, it appears that by 20 May 1990, there was a missing dot above the i on the ‘Doncaster Enterprise’ name plate. The stuck-on dot had most likely fallen off the name plate. The No. 2 cab was replaced with the cab from No. 47645. Once repairs were complete, the locomotive was outshopped in a BR Parcels red and grey livery. In July 2000, ‘Doncaster Enterprise’ was cut up by EWS at Wigan CRDC. No. 47522 is finished in an apple green livery. It includes two etched nameplates of ‘Doncaster Enterprise’. Please be aware that this is not suitable for children.

Ltd and offered petrol and diesel engine shunting locomotives. C.F. Cleaver, an engineer employed by Hardy Railmotors, realised that the successful 130 bhp 6-cylinder AEC diesel engine used in London buses would be suitable for powering a lightweight railcar. The first railcar was a prototype, No. 1, and the body was based on the popular DB diesel unit called ‘Flying Hamburger’. After wind tunnel tests, the body was streamlined, which earned them the nickname ‘flying bananas’. The railcar was bought by GWR and soon, No. 1 was displayed at the International Commercial Motor Transport Exhibition at Olympia in November 1933, to much fanfare and great publicity. GWR ordered more railcars and a total of 38 diesel railcars were constructed between 1933-1942. In service for various purposes, ranging from branch-line working to twin-set rail cars working the Birmingham to Cardiff service, these railcars were unique to the main line. Eventually, the railcars were withdrawn from service between 1955 and 1962. Three railcars are preserved: No. 4 at the National Railway Museum, No. 20 at the Kent \u0026amp; East Sussex Railway and No. 22 at the Didcot Railway Centre. No. 34 was an express parcels railcar and entered service in 1941. The railcar had a capacity of a 10-ton load for each journey. Double-hinged doors were a feature on the railcar. No. 34 operated from Southall until it was withdrawn in 1960. It was considered to be an efficient railcar due to the car’s trailer hauling capacity.

Like his mentor, Nigel Gresley, Bulleid was a technically arrogant CME, an advocate for locomotives being driven hard and to brisk schedules and this materialised in his design ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1934, Bullied had been opposed to the use of streamlining but for the Merchant Navy's 'air-smoothed' design is suited his purposes, being easy to clean mechanically and hiding the boiler's external pipes, which in turn meant that they could be run for function, rather than aesthetics. Opting for a welded steel firebox, instead of traditional copper construction for reduced weight and pressure benefits, Bulleid was able to make the three equally sized cylinders smaller, at 18', and better balanced. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew X-ray inspection techniques were specifically developed to monitor wear to the welded areas, whilst the newly designed Bulleid Firth Brown 6\" 2' driving wheels reduced the amount of hammer blow to the rails, also resulting in less wear. Of all the new features Bulleid incorporated into the design, perhaps the most ingenious and, ultimately, most controversial was his decision to totally enclose the valve motion in an oil bath to prevent attritional wear through grit ingress. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the onset of war in 1939, Bullied's design was accepted by the wartime Railway Executive Committee and production commenced though November 1940 at Eastleigh Works. The first member of the class, Channel Packet, was introduced in June of 1941 as the rather complicatedly numbered 21C1. Only 20 locomotives would be built under the SR, with a further 10 being built by BR entering straight into their service between 1948 and 1949. The last of the locomotives would be withdrawn towards the end of steam on BR in July of 1967.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocomotive 35012 entered service with the Southern Railway in January 1945 with the palindromic locomotive 'number' 21C12. It would gain its more conventional number under BR before being rebuilt by the nationalised operator in February 1957, making it one of the first examples to be rebuilt.
