Withdrawal and Disposal
In 1954, main line dieselisation began and progressively displaced the K class, especially as the DA class was introduced from 1955. Withdrawal began in 1964, and all members exited service by 1967. Three of the class were retained by Hutt Workshops for use as stationary boilers, replacing three Garratt boilers from the G class. These 3 heavily stripped members lasted in such use service until 1988 when they were auctioned off.

Famous quotes containing the words withdrawal and/or disposal:
“A bizarre sensation pervades a relationship of pretense. No truth seems true. A simple morning’s greeting and response appear loaded with innuendo and fraught with implications.... Each nicety becomes more sterile and each withdrawal more permanent.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“Young people everywhere have been allowed to choose between love and a garbage disposal unit. Everywhere they have chosen the garbage disposal unit.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
