The class was designed by William Stroudley and 50 were built between 1872 and 1880 at the Brighton Works in Sussex. The original workings of the locomotive on the main London Lines of the class were eventually displaced by newer and more powerful locomotives and by the LB&SCR electrification scheme. Some of the locomotives were sold to other operators but most were used for Branchline work and non revenue generating operations such as shunting. In this role the class continued in service until the 1960’s with the final active locomotive being decommissioned on the Hayling Island Line in Hampshire on November 1963. In all 10 Terriers survive into preservation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR Dave Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 At the risk of kicking the New Engine Green hornets nest, is it intended that this version will match the earlier Dapol releases in this livery ? I seem to remember it coming in for some negative comments when they came out. Speaking personally I would rather it matched my Waddon, but don't want to order if they've 'tweeked' it.

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted August 2, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 2, 2018 Nice to see, though off my radar, especially now the OO one has been announced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 might have to have one for the layout that would make 3 in pre 1905 livery. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardian Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 The previous 7mm A1s have, I believe, featured the wooden brake blocks, and only the A1X came with iron shoes. This model is, therefore, I would think the first Dapol A1 to feature iron shoes. This is quite correct for Box Hill, both as-built and as-preserved, because she came from the final batch of 1880 that were built with iron shoes, so this is a really nice touch. The "fastidious" amongst us can remove the otiose under-valance sand boxes if we wish. In other respects it conforms with the general catalogue Terriers, which have been a strong product for Dapol.

GreenGiraffe22 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I find it remarkable that an 0 gauge model locomotive in this instance is only roughly £100 more than its 00 equivalent. Seems very reasonable to me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 That's one ordered. Going to fit it with a Digitrains sound chip when it arrives. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floreat Industria Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Rails Facebook stated they would be in stock this week, so I'm looking forward to mine. I'm surprised they are still available to order if there are only 150 of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcD Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Just got the email saying my one has been dispatched. Looking forward to getting my hands on it. I have get round to getting some LBSCR wagons and coaches built now. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Christmas has come early a box arrived in the post this morning look what was in it. Only downer Dapol's QC is as usual as I took it out of the box one of the rear steps dropped off. nothing a drop of glue won't sort. It might get a run out at the NEC but we are supposedly running "Lowick" as Furness Branch line. It will be getting a run out at Folkstone Show next year when the layout reverts to being "Scratchy Bottom". Marc 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
