Class J35 Variety was most certainly not the watchword with this class, as the same eight locomotives were allocated from late 1948 until the first withdrawals in 1959, and six of them were there in LNER days!

Class J36 A total of 24 class J36s were allocated to Kipps from 1947 to 1962.  Members of the class were steadily being withdrawn since Nationalisation and a total of 10 locos had already been withdrawn as early as 1957. Some locomotives were hired out to local factories, details are given in the notes after the allocation tables

Naming Notes: Some members of this class were named after battlefields and commanders of World War 1.  The following names were carried by locomotives listed as being allocated to Kipps: 65216  Byng 65217 French 5223 Albert 5226 Haig 65236 Horne The name was painted on the middle splasher, as can be seen in the photograph above of former Haymarket J36 No.65243 "Maude" as currently preserved by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society at Bo'ness.

Notes: (1) No. 5226 Probably was a "paper transfer" to balance the transfer of 5343 to Kipps, (transfer and scrapping dates coincide).  Scrapped as 5226 (2) No. 65249 was hired from 04/57 to 06/57 by Baird's and Scottish Steel, Gartsherrie Iron Works. (3) No. 65260 was hired from 02/52 to 05/52 and 02/55 to ??/55 by Baird's and Scottish Steel, Gartsherrie Iron Works.  Was most likely replaced by 65325 in 1955 (see below). (4) No. 65285 Had cut down chimney, dome and cab for working Gartverrie Branch (5) No. 65287 Had cut down chimney, dome and cab for working Gartverrie Branch (6) No. 65325 was hired from ??/55 to 07/55, 08/55 to 10/55 and 12/55 to 03/56 by Baird's and Scottish Steel, Gartsherrie Iron Works.
