29/02/1952 Wirral Section With the withdrawal of 2-4-2T No. 46762 in February, the Wirral locomotive stud has become extinct. Of the 17 engines taken over by the L.M.S., seven were 0-4-4T (all except one being withdrawn in 1923/4), five were 2-4-2T (all purchased second-hand), No. 1 was a 4-4-2 tank (withdrawn 2/24). Nos. 6850/1 were 4-4-4T (withdrawn 1924) and Nos. 6948/9 were 0-6-4T (withdrawn 1924 and 1923 respectively). The only 0-4-4T to receive its L.M.S. number was No. 3, withdrawn in 7/28 as 6776. Of the 2-4-2T, four were Webb 4ft. 6in. tanks, the last in traffic being. No. 6761-withdrawn 7/28. So that the ex- L. & Y. tank outlasted all the other Wirral engines by 24 years. Built at Horwich in July 1890 (works No. 39) as No. 1041, it was sold to the Wirral Company in 1921 and numbered 6, replacing a 0-4-4T; it became L.M.S. 6762 in 4/24 (presumably in error for 10638 which was left vacant for it), and B.R. 46762 in 9/49. It is interesting to note that of the original thirty engines built in 1890/1, thirteen are still on the active list as 50621-3/5/33/4/6/9/40/3/4/6/7, about half a dozen being at Manningham.
