(a) Another locomotive that I do not think is the locomotive that it purports to be. This is one of ten locomotives (1620-29)
supplied by WB. They were delivered to the NWR for use on the KKTR (now in Pakistan) and numbered 51 to 60. This line was
one of the four military lines operated in the North Western Frontier area. Between 1913 and 1918, all of these ten
locomotives were moved away from the line. In 1913, No 53 was sent to an unknown location in Bombay. Nos. 51, 52, 54,
56-8 & 60 were sent for use by the military in Mesopotamia in the Middle East. In 1918, No 55 was sent to the Bushire
Military Railway in Persia. No 59 was sold to Tata Power at an unknown date. As well as these locomotives, another seventeen
locomotives WB's from the Military Reserve were sent out to Mesopotamia (q.v. 507 RTM). None of these twenty-four
locomotives returned directly to India. Five were sent to the Bushire Military Railway (which locomotives is unknown except
that one was WB 1772/05) and I assume that the other nineteen were disposed of outside of India. The Bushire Military Railway
closed in March 1921 and all the stock was shipped back to Bombay for disposal. This means a minimum of one and a maximum of
five locomotives from the original batch of ten could have returned to India. There were also still two locomotives which
remained in India. In 1927, one of these locomotives was photographed working on the Imperial Delhi Railway (a line used in
the construction of New Delhi), numbered as IDR 10.The definite identify of the locomotive is unknown but it may well be one
of the locomotives that had returned from the Middle East as it has an 'armoured' look to it and I don't think that the
locomotives were armoured when first delivered. The locomotive in Mysore Museum was noted at the NR sleeper depot at Dhilwan
in 1978, numbered 119 and classified as an E class locomotive. . It was carrying the worksplate of WB 1625. This worksplate
comes from No 56 which was one of the locomotives that was sent to the Middle East. Whether this locomotive did in fact
return from the Middle East or whether this locomotive just carries its worksplate is not known.

(4237-9) supplied by KS in 1922. The MSR also had another six E, ES & ES1 class locomotives, all built by KS.
