In later years, the class were displaced from their mainline duties first by the larger J and K class locomotives, and later by the arrival of diesel locomotives (D and D classes in the North Island, D and D classes in the South Island). As a result of the arrival of diesel locomotives in the North Island from 1955 onwards, many of the North Island-based locomotives were transferred to the South Island to see out their remaining working lives.

601:- one of three classes to use this tender, the others being the re-built G class 4-6-2, and the later J/Ja/Jb class 4-8-2 engines. The tenders, although satisfactory, suffered from having been constructed too lightly for the intended task, and were also prone to rusting, particularly around the frame channels. This necessitated the complete replacement of the tender frames from some locomotives, although not all were treated so.

Many of those withdrawn were South Island locomotives which had reached the end of their economic lives between 1963 and 1967 (when the D class diesels arrived) and were replaced by ex-North Island locomotives. By 1971, several still remained on the books at the close of steam operations on the NZR.

locomotive in 1997 with the stripping of the engine unit for restoration. The locomotive has since received a new tender body, and been fitted with stronger 'Janney yoke' drawgear to facilitate towing of the locomotive by mainline freight train if necessary.

in 1956. Rather than recover the locomotive, NZR salvaged all parts from the right-hand (driver's) side of the locomotive, and buried it along with several V series insulated meat vans. The engine unit of 745 was dug out of the embankment in 2001. As of

This meant that certain locomotives should have changed identity - the identity of the locomotive is attached (supposedly) to the frame of the locomotive. Therefore, A 792 should have become A 661 as a result of the frame repairs. However, with 661 written off and 792 being a younger locomotive that

This type of boiler was also adapted for use on the Q and A class 4-6-2 tender locomotives of 1901 and 1915 respectively when their original boilers wore out. In the case of the A class, the boiler change was not necessitated by the condition of the boilers but due to the limitations of the original

One example of this was A 792, one of the ten W class conversions from 1947 to 1957. Shopped for an 'A' grade overhaul at
Hillside Workshops, the locomotive had a cracked mainframe but was otherwise in mechanically good condition. It was decided to use part of the good-condition frames from under A
633:
With 141 members of this type in New
Zealand, tenders were inevitably swapped with other locomotives. For example, a locomotive undergoing overhaul might lose its good-condition tender to another with a poor-condition tender to speed up the process of out shopping the second locomotive. All tenders

The A type boiler had a working pressure of 180psi, a standard across the type. These boilers were of standard construction, no matter which firm built them, and as such were interchangeable across any locomotives of the type. They were also similar to the boilers built for the W and W class 4-6-4T
532:
there were several shortcomings of the design β notably the cab was too small, and the tenders were not sturdy enough. A new and longer cab was fitted to all new locomotives being built from that time onwards, with the first appearing on A 663. New tender structures were also built at a later date.
651:
During the late 1950s to early 1960s, many older A class locomotives were being withdrawn as they wore out and were replaced by locomotives displaced from other regions. With many engines still in relatively good condition, these engines were cannibalised following withdrawal to keep other engines

The final duties of the A class were on branch line workings, where they found their niche after being displaced from most mainline duties by larger locomotives. These in turn displaced the A and Q class 4-6-2 locomotives from their duties, resulting in the withdrawal of all Q class locomotives by

The A class compared more favourably in service against the compound A class. Reputedly the first engine able to generate one horsepower for every 100 pounds of weight (16.4 W/kg), the A class was efficient and versatile, and the engines were easy to maintain and operate. It became clear that

The locomotives did not change greatly during their NZR career. The first change was to fit
Waikato-type spark arrestors to many of the North Island-based engines, resulting in a new pear-shaped smokebox with an ash hopper at the base of the smokebox. The cast-iron smokebox doors were replaced by

A 832, the last steam locomotive to work in the North Island when steam ended there in 1967, was donated by NZR to the Museum of
Transport and Technology. Stored pending restoration at MOTAT 2. It was on long-term lease to the Glenbrook Vintage Railway and was stored at the GVR's Pukeoware depot
567:
Another notable change was that many of the class were fitted with ballast blocks for mechanical purposes. As the locomotives rode well, this was not to prevent derailments as with the Q class 4-6-2s of 1901. Furthermore, certain engines were not fitted with ballast blocks, so their inclusion is

The tenders initially rode on drawing x-6002 standard bogies fitted with grease-lubricated bearings. Later, drawing x-10161 bogies, still fitted with grease-lubricated bearings were substituted on some locomotives as they came in for an overhaul. A later variant was the drawing x-11183 'Timken'

The new locomotive, A 608, was to a completely different design from A 409 when it emerged from the Addington Workshops in 1915. Although largely similar to the A class, it had a new design of cab and boiler, which was fitted with a superheater after trials conducted on A 409. It also had the

624:
A 688 received a 'G' type tender to replace its original tender, which was wrecked in the Blind River derailment of 25 February 1948. This accident was attributed to the lack of a reliable speedometer on the locomotive, causing relief driver Jim Gurr to misjudge his
