The New Zealand DS class is a class of 16 diesel shunting locomotives built by the Vulcan Foundry and supplied by the Drewry Car Co from 1949—1955. ==Introduction== In the late 1940s, New Zealand Railways was looking for a more powerful type of diesel shunting locomotive to work in the Wellington railway yards. They had trialled a number of TR class shunting locomotives, none at the time were suitable with the most powerful being the five TR class 0-4-0DM shunting locomotives built by the Drewry Car Company/Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn in 1950, which produced 153 horse power. However, these were too small for the large Wellington yards, where a more powerful locomotive would be needed. In 1948, the Tasmanian Government Railways took delivery of four Drewry 0-6-0DM shunting locomotives based on the Class 04 shunting locomotives being built for British Railways. These locomotives, TGR class V, were powered by a Gardner 8L3 diesel engine producing 204h.p, and weighed 25.6t. These locomotives were of a standard Drewry design, but built by English Electric at their Vulcan Works. A similar diesel locomotive had been built for the Ohai Railway Board in Southland, makers NO 2248/D68 of 1947.
