Southern Railway – ‘A1X Class’ 0-6-0T No.W11 ‘Newport’ (40 ‘Brighton’) Terrier taken while running round at Brading Station, IOW c1933
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.
W11’s working life was originally in the London area, based at Battersea Shed, in 1901 it was used assisting with sea defence works at Newhaven. In 1901, having been declared surplus to requirements, she was purchased by the Isle of Wight Central Railway. As part of the deal she was overhauled at Brighton Works, repainted in IWCR livery and given the number 11. She was transferred to the Island on 8 January 1902.
She passed onto the Southern Railway in 1923 she was renumbered as W11 and in 1930 was given the name ‘Newport’.
In April 1946 she was taken out of use and stored, being shipped back to the mainland on 22 February 1947, for overhaul at Eastleigh Works. Ownership changed again in 1948 to British Railways under the No. 32640 and continued to be active along the South Coast working the Hayling Island branch, the Kent and East Sussex Railway and spells at Brighton, St Leonard’s and Newhaven. Final withdrawal from service came on 27 September 1963.
A1X (Terrier) Class 0-6-0T No.W11 ‘Newport’ (32640), (2640) (40 ‘Brighton’) designed by William Stroudley, built in 1878 at Brighton Works. Rebuilt to A1X in 1918.
Sold for £600 to Isle of Wight Central Railway in January 1902. To Southern Railway on Grouping and BR(S) on Nationalisation. Withdrawn 21 September 1963. Sold to Butlin's and initially displayed at Pwllheli. Loaned to Isle of Wight Locomotive Society in 1972 and sold to them for £3,500 in 1976. Preserved on the Isle of Wight.
