Such an interlock appears to have been common since the 1960s.

Not on the 6300s, 800s,1000s,7000s,9500s,1600s or any steam engine I
ever worked on.


Were any of them designed in the late 1950s or 1960s?

prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.

I don't know if it's significant, but I don't believe any of the classes
that Clive notes were designed for multiple (rather than tandem) operation.
