- Era 7. Founded as Ally & MacLellan, Glasgow in 1875 and then later
known as the Sentinel Waggon Works Ltd, the company went through
various place and name changes until in 1957 Sentinel (Shrewsbury)
Ltd was obtained by Rolls-Royce. At that time Sentinel were
producing steam locomotives and lorries, but the manufacturing of
these vehicles ceased in 1958. In 1959, Sentinel produced a
prototype diesel shunter which was operated on the military
controlled Shropshire & Montgomeryshire Railway. In total 17 were
produced and operated quite successfully during that year.
