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.
No. B647 - A1X Class 0-6-0T – (47 ‘Cheapside’, 647, 2647, & BR No. 32647) designed by William Stroudley, built in 1876 at Brighton Works. Rebuilt to A1X in 1912.
In 1948 it was allocated to 75A Brighton Shed and ended up 71D Fratton Shed until it was withdrawn, in October 1951 due to broken crank axle ended up being scrapped at Eastleigh also in 1941. It was given a British Railway No.32647 but it never got to wear it.
