Following the end of commercial trade at the London docks most of these locomotives found new owners, several going to GKN/Allied Steel and Wire in South Wales.

GKN purchased several Yorkshire Engine Company Janus diesel shunters from the Port of London Authority, including 379, ex-PLA 201 to replace older diesel shunters at a number of the Allied Steel & Wire plants. The locomotives were painted in a pleasing Oxford blue livery with wasp-striped ends with nameplates carried over the end radiators. 379 Caerleon was usually employed at the Tremorfa rod mill, Cardiff.

Hornby Railways R3576 OO Gauge Sentinel 19 4 wheel Diesel Hydraulic Industrial Shunting Locomotive Green

The large fleet of small industrial shunting engines has always lacked a good, detailed model. Hornby have made a good choice of prototype with this 4-wheel Sentinel diesel locomotive, a type which proved popular with industrial users, many large organizations operating sizable fleets.
Due to the consideration by the designers for ease of operation and safety for the crew Sentinels have remained in service until recent years, often only being replaced by newer locomotives from Sentinels' successors developed from the Sentinel design. Many Sentinels have since found new homes on heritage railways.

This model is DCC Ready. Hornby have a special 4-pin decoder unit for these models available from their customer care department. Tel. 01843 233525. The service sheet lists part X9659 for the decoder.
We regret that we are not able to supply the DCC decoder for this locomotive, Hornby Hobbies have declined to supply these to retailers.

The Hunslet 'Austerity' 0-6-0 saddle tank locomotives were ordered by the Ministry of Supply during WW2 as a standard heavy shunting engine. Hunslet based the design on shunting engines they had built for the steel industry in the late 1930s. They were simple, robust and powerful engines, well suited to heavy shunting tasks, with wheels large enough for local goods service.
After WW2 a number of these engines were retained by the British Army for shunting in their depots. This model is finished in army green livery as number 92 Waggoner. This engine worked at Longmoor initially, before moving to Histon and later Bicester depots, being officially retired to the army transport museum in 1984. Subsequently Waggoner was loaned to the Isle of Wight Railway and restored to service, with ownership passing to the Isle of Wight line in 2005.

When the L&BSCR decided to reduce its numbers of ‘Terrier’ locomotives, No. 70 was sold to the Rother Valley Railway (later the Kent & East Sussex Railway) in May 1901. Now painted blue and numbered No. 3 ‘Bodiam’, the locomotive was temporarily withdrawn from service in 1931, but returned to the line in 1933. After nationalisation ‘Bodiam’ was re-numbered No. 32670, continuing to serve on the K&ESR before being moved to Hayling Island. No. 32670 was withdrawn due to that branch's closure in 1963, but saved for preservation.

This locomotive has had various roles and owners over the years before ending up in the hands of London Carriers International, based at Paddock Wood in Kent. London Carriers International operated a large rail fitted warehouse and used their sentinel to move goods dropped off by BR trains into and around the ½ mile long building. Supposedly the exhausts produced at start-up regularly set off the buildings fire alarms and so the locomotive was quickly sold on to the East Lancashire Railway.

Locomotive build No. 10089 was constructed in 1962 before undergoing a complete refurbishment in 2007 to be delivered to Hitachi for shunting work at Ashford, primarily involving the high speed class 395 ‘Javelin’ EMUs. The locomotive was named after the chairman of Hitachi Europe, 'Chiaki Ueda'.

Peckett works number 1203 named The Earl was built in 1910 for the Nixon’s Navigation Coal Company and delivered to Deep Duffryn Colliery in Mountain Ash, South Wales. Opened in 1850 this colliery remained open until 1971. During the time No. 1203 was delivered the colliery employed over 1200 people and NCB Mountain Ash is well known as one of the last coal board locations to use steam locomotives, though many of the older engines including The Earl were replaced by Austerity saddle tanks and ex-GWR pannier tanks in the 1960s.
Peckett 1203 The Earl is modelled in NCB plain blue livery.

Run by the merchants of the City of Bristol the Port of Bristol Authority naturally supported Bristol based locomotive builders when purchasing the fleet of shunting engines needed for the dock complexes at Portishead and Avonmouth. Peckett B2 class 0-6-0 saddle tank engine Henry was built in 1913 and was noted in a list of locomotives at Avonmouth docks in 1939.
This model is finished in the attractive Peckett factory finish of lined mid-green with polished brasswork. The PBA locomotive crews tried to maintain their engines in this finish, taking pride in being able to in compete with the GWR's smartly polished passenger engines.

The 88bhp Ruston 88DS is the 'big brother' to the 48DS, designed to be powerful enough to replace a small steam shunting locomotive.
Ruston 421415 was built new for the North British Distillery Co. Ltd, being delivered in March 1958 to their distillery in the Gorgie district of Edinburgh, around the period when the distillery was expanding to include the former Edinburgh Corporation Tramways depot. In 1973, the locomotive was donated to the fledgling Fife Railway Preservation Group, who located it at the Lochty Private Railway until 1994. 421415 has now been restored and wears the livery of the North British Railway.

The 88bhp Ruston 88DS is the 'big brother' to the 48DS, designed to be powerful enough to replace a small steam shunting locomotive.
Ruston 441934 was built new for chocolate and confectionery manufacturers Rowntree & Co. Ltd of York, delivered in April 1960 and joining fellow Ruston 88DS locomotives 421419/1958 and 432479/1959 as No. 3. In 1979 a new 0-6-0 locomotive was bought for the York factory and No.3 was transferred to Rowntree’s Fawdon, Newcastle factory until rail service there ended in 1987. No. 3 was passed to the North York Moors Railway for preservation, but in 2013 was quite fittingly acquired by two members of the Derwent Valley Light Railway and has returned to York, being named Ken Cooke in honour of a former Rowntree’s employee, a D-Day veteran and holder of the Legion d’Honneur.
