Picture number 33204 08/10/1949 Unknown Known to generations of the general public as ?Terriers? these locomotives were known to railwaymen as ?Rooters?. Between 1911 and 1947 nearly half the class was rebuilt with improved boilers and longer smokeboxes and were re-designated as class A1X. This locomotive emerged from Brighton Works in July 1880 as part of the last batch of A1 class locomotives. From new the whole batch were fitted with Westinghouse air brakes and iron instead of wooden brake blocks. At first it worked on the London suburban lines but by the mid-1890?s had migrated to Portsmouth working the Hayling Island and East Southsea branches. In 1907 it was converted to push-pull motor train working this adaptation included reducing the cylinders from 13 in. to 12 in. diameter so as a consequence it has rather less power than other terriers in November 1911 it was fitted with a Marsh boiler fitted and consequent conversion to class A1X. It was allocated to Horsham in 1912 moving to Littlehampton four years later. It subsequently returned to the London area where duties included the Crystal Palace motor trains. By the end of 1922 it was back in the country at Horsham. In 1929 it was shipped across the Solent Isle of Wight W4 later W14 and renamed Bembridge. In May 1936 it returned to the mainland and was condemned at Eastleigh seven months later. However it was given an overhaul and returned to traffic in May 1937 going to Fratton for duty on the Hayling Island services. It was hired to the K&ESR in 1940 until nationalisation in 1948 and then retained for service on the line for another ten years and became the longest serving non-K&ESR locomotive to work the line. It worked the final K&ESR passenger train on 2 January 1954 and then moved to St. Leonards for the daily Tenterden freight duty and the seasonal hop-pickers trains. In 1958 it returned to Fratton for the Hayling Island branch duties and received its final BR overhaul and repaint at Eastleigh in September 1959. In 1963 it was employed on the West Quay line at Newhaven. I became the coal stage pilot at Brighton and was withdrawn from service on 5 October 1963. It was sold to Butlins and put on display at their Minehead holiday camp. Subsequently it moved to the nearby West Somerset Railway for preservation from where it was acquired by Resco (Railways) Ltd. who moved it to their premises in North Kent. After a further change of private owner the locomotive returned to the K&ESR as a kit of parts in 1988. Rebuilding proceeded through the 1990?s and the locomotive re-entered service as 2678 in late May 1999.
