See also SS5198 : Llanelly Locomotive Depot, interior. Almost all Llanelly Depot's substantial fleet were in the big roundhouse that Sunday in 1958, each arm around the turntable being able to accommodate two Panniers. These are Nos. 1615 (built 12/49, withdrawn 6/61) and 1665 (built 4/55, withdrawn just nine years later in 7/64). These were steam shunting engines of essentially 19th century design built at the same time as Diesels were in use for shunting nearly everywhere else.
