01/04/1952 Newcastle Area The advent of the Ivatt 2-6-0's of Class 4 has already brought a London Midland flavour to Teesside and Humberside, but on 1st April, 1952, it was the turn of Newcastle (normally an almost exclusive N.E. centre) to savour of Crewe and Derby. Two Class 4 Ivatt 2-6-0's (numbers not identified) were noted in traffic between Durham and Newcastle, whilst at Newcastle Central 42084 (73A) was working the 11.15 a.m. to Middlesbrough via Sunderland and West Hartlepool. Nos. 43016/70 an 43125 were on Heaton Shed, and No. 42085 (73A) was under repair at Gateshead Works. SLS/195206
