Data from "Mr Stirling's Engines on the South Eastern Ry ," The Locomotive Magazine, Vol IX (22 Aug 1903), p. 115. Works number was 1154.
One of the more prosaic duties of a small locomotive was to move other rolling stock around. Most shunters (switchers) did so in a classification yard in which trains were assembled for revenue service. The car shop at Ashford, however, needed a shunter to move its coaches around before, during, and after they were either constructed or serviced. This engine was the result.Data from "Six-Coupled Goods Engine, S E Ry," The Locomotive Magazine, Vol VII ("April 1902), p. 78.
Another of the many SER engines of the day with James Anson Cudworth's long firebox with midfeather, this class also had wood-centered driving wheels.
