Wintry scene in Nine Elms Locomotive Yard, with ex-LSWR 4-4-0
Ex-LSWR Drummond L11 class 4-4-0 No. 437 (built 12/1906, withdrawn 4/52) was latterly used for 'odd jobs' - local goods etc. Nine Elms Depot was hidden from the main lines out of Waterloo on the Down (east) side south of Vauxhall. It lasted until the End of Steam, being closed on 9/767, then soon demolished and replaced by the New Covent Garden Market, but in 1946 it had an allocation of 107 locomotives - all steam:- 10 4-6-2, 37 4-6-0, 17 4-4-0, 5 2-6-0, 5 0-6-0, 1 0-8-0T, 10 0-6-0T, 19 0-4-4T and 3 0-4-2T, a motley collection of 18 different classes.

Ex-LSW 0-4-4T in Nine Elms Locomotive Yard
Ex-LSW Drummond M7 class 0-4-4T No. 30245 (built 4/1897, withdrawn 11/62 but preserved in the National Collection at York) is seen in the yard of this large and famous Depot, which served the passenger trains from Waterloo and freight trains from Nine Elms Goods. It adjoined the latter to the south of the main lines, south of Vauxhall. In the 1950s the Depot had an allocation of nearly 100 steam locomotives of all types and it remained active until the end of steam working into Waterloo in 7/67, after which the New Covent Garden Market was built over the site.

Outside the main shed is SR Maunsell 'King Arthur' class N15 No. 30763 'Sir Bors de Ganis'. This was the first of the Maunsell improvements of the Urie 'Arthurs' ordered from North British Locomotive Co. in 1925 and given the names of the lesser known Knights of the Round Table, the N15s becoming the principal class of 4-6-0s for SR express work between the Wars. No. 30763 was built 5/25 and withdrawn 10/60.
