LBSCR Terriers

I read somewhere recently (and can't find it again) that there were several locos of this type built in/for Australia, but they were short-lived (with at least one converted to a crane tank). Anyone got any photos?

 

That one? http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/73075-any-news-on-dapol´s-terrier/

 

According to Wikipedia :
"The A1 class overseas[edit]
Two of the three locomotives sold to Pauling & Co. were exported to South America and one worked on the La Plata tramway in the 1920s.[41]

Eight locomotives were built by local Australian builders for the New South Wales Government Railways, Australia – to the LB&SCR's general arrangement and drawings – and entered traffic as the N67 class at about the same time as the A1X class in England. They were essentially identical engines, except for a simpler cab, larger bunker, larger sandboxes and other various detail differences. They became redundant from about 1890 after the introduction of larger and more powerful tank locomotives and many were fitted with small cranes in place of the bunker. In this form they were put to work as shunters and as "coal grabs" - small mobile coal loaders for refuelling larger locomotives at depots. Some saw service with other groups into the 1930s. They were less successful than their English cousins due to rather different operating conditions and all were scrapped before the start of the preservation era."

 

well found...and so quick!

 

There's another photo here: if you read the comments there is some historical information.

Apart from those, there were also as I recall a number of locos built for the Alexandria and Ramleh Railway in Egypt that were Stroudley D tanks in all but name and boiler.

Now if only someone did the crane tank as a model.

 

Maybe it's on this site somewhere, but I'm trying to find a definitive list of Terriers rebuilt as A1X. The books seem to disagree.
I think there were 21 - LBSCR nos. 35, 40, 43, 44, 46, 47, 50, 53, 55, 59, 61, 62, 63, 70, 72, 73, 77, 78, 79, 80 and 84. All these reached BR (43 and 53 as nos. 5 and 6 ex WCPR/GWR), except 63, 73, 79, 80 and 84.

 

you have missed N0.69 Peckham, bought by the IWCR and later SR W10 Cowes, and converted to A1X in 1930, and withdrawn 1936, transfered to Eastleigh dump and not broken up till 1949.

this makes 22 Terriers converted to A1x.

many thanks, Julian.
