These diminutive 1F 0-4-0 tanks had almost all gone, with just three members left, by the time of my summer 1962 combined volume. Twenty-five had been built for the London and South Western Railway between 1891 and 1908, for use as station pilots and dock shunters.
John Dyer photographed them at Eastleigh works [No. 30102] on 26/4/60 and No. 30096 at Winchester City station on 27/8/61. Two examples have been preserved, one on the Bluebell Railway and one at Bressingham Steam Museum, at Diss in Norfolk.
