London, Brighton & South Coast Railway – ‘A1 Class’ 0-6-0T – No.71 ‘Wapping’ at Littlehampton c1900 by Peter Heelas Via Flickr: The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) A1 Class is an English class of 0-6-0T steam locomotive. Designed by William Stroudley, 50 members of the class were built in 1872 and between 1874 and 1880, all at Brighton Works. The class has received several nicknames, initially being known as "Rooters" by their south London crews. However, the engines were more famously known as "Terriers" on account of the distinctive 'bark' of the exhaust beat. Originally known as "A" class, these diminutive tank locomotives were designed in 1870 to haul commuter trains on the heavily congested lines in South and South-East London. These included routes from London Bridge to both East and West Croydon, London Victoria to Sutton and the line from Victoria to London Bridge via. Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill, as well as operating on the East London Railway under the Thames through the Thames Tunnel designed by Marc Isambard Brunel. Six locomotives were built for these services during 1872, and were successful due to their high acceleration between the closely spaced station stops and ability to haul reasonably heavy trains. A further 44 were thus built between June 1874 and September 1880 to complement the original six. The LSWR operated the branch from the beginning; the permanent way was very light and permissible axle loads limited, at 12 tons. The locomotives used at first were nos. 734 and 735, Terrier (A1) class 0-6-0T engines; they formerly belonged to the London Brighton & South Coast Railway (LBSCR) for suburban work. However they were not entirely successful due to their limited power. A1 (Terrier) Class 0-6-0T No. 71 ‘Wapping’, (671, K&ESR No.5) designed by William Stroudley, built in 1872 at Brighton Works. Hired for construction of the Sheppey Light Railway. Sold for £700 to Rother Valley Railway (Kent & East Sussex Railway) in January 1905 and became No.5 ‘Rolvenden’. Withdrawn in 1932, cannibalised in 1933 and scrapped in 1938. Photographer Unknown – taken from a Real Photographers photo copyright ‘David & Charles’ seen here at Littlehampton c1900.
