Report Date Title Report Source
31/01/1958 Cardiff East Dock MPD Following the arrival of further diesel shunters (D3404/5/6/7, D3420/1/2/3/4) most of the remaining steam stock has been transferred to Radyr including the entire batch of 34XX panniers (3400-9). All the freight engines from Cathays have also been tranferred to Radyr as Cathays is being rebuilt as a diesel car depot. Presumably Cathays will close as a steam shed when all passenger workings become diesel car operated. SLS/195803
09/08/1958 Barry MPD The last G.W.R.-designed steam locomotives to be built (3400-9) are all in store, together with 6751/3/8. SLS/195810
