Based in Glasgow, Alley and MacLellan entered steam road waggon building in 1906 by introducing a 5 ton vertical boiler wagon, featuring a 2 cylinder undertype engine and chain drive. The company also had another side of the business which built steam railway locomotives and some railcars, for the LMS and industrial customers. Following a move to Shrewsbury in 1915 the company changed its name to Sentinel Waggon Works Ltd. The highly successful 5 tonner was replaced by the "Super" in about 1920, and a direct development the DG4 appeared in 1926; quickly followed by a six wheeler (DG6) and a DG8 four axle version in 1929, the first British "eight legger" though in practise it carried no more than a six wheeler because of weight restrictions of the time. By 1930 there was pressure on the remaining steam road vehicle builders, though Sentinel were able to introduce an improved "S" type as late as 1934, designated S4, S6 and S8 and production continued to some extent until the outbreak of the war.
