LB&SCR A1/A1X Class

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.  Between 1911 and 1913 twelve A1’s were re-boilered under the instruction of Douglas Earle Marsh, Stroudley's successor as CME of the LB&SCR, with another four so treated after the Great War these engines formed the A1X Class with an increased weight of 28.2 long tons (28.7 t). Other changes made during the rebuilding were the extension of the smokebox removing the smokebox 'wings', and moving the sandboxes from this same area.
