Report Date Title Report Source
05/04/1947 General To the Editor, In the April 1947 Journal Mr. A. G. Wells asks for information regarding a derelict railway near Martin Mill. I do not know the original purpose of this line, but it was reconditioned and used in connection with various military establishments in that area during the early years of the war. In October, 1941, there were 4 0-6-0 diesels at Martin Mill, particulars being as follows: L.M.S. 7061 still in L.M.S. livery, with the name Pluto chalked on the smokebox door. L.M.S. 7064 in camouflage paint, with W.D. 7064 on cabsides and Unique painted in white on the smokebox door. L.M.S. 7067 camouflaged, with 7067 in small white letters on the cabsides. S.R. 1 camouflaged, with the number 1 on the front buffer beam. Yours faithfully, Beckenham, H. C. HUGHES. 5th April, 1947. SLS/194706
