30/11/1954 Unusual withdrawals At the end of November two engines of more than usual interest appeared among the withdrawals. No. 62782, built at Stratford in 1892 as No. 466, was one of the Holden G.E. 'Intermediates,' a class which originally totalled 100 engines. Fifty were withdrawn by the end of 1931, thirty more between 1933 and 1938, No. 7502 in 1939 and No. 7485 in 1940, leaving 18 in service, which figure has been unchanged until now. The other withdrawal of note is No. 68757, the oldest surviving. Stirling saddletank, built at Doncaster in 1892, as No. 922; Nos. 921-930 were the last ones built with 17½' cylinders, three of which still remain on the register. SLS/195501
