It's incredible what they achieved without accurate tooling. I've seen early drills and tools at The National Railway Museum and by crikey it's amazing they worked at all! These men were truly pioneers of the modern railway.

I very much appreciate the details of equipment like this. Interesting to say the least.

Yes, once the Victorians worked out how to build engines, they went on a huge building binge. Thank you for the information and the image. If you are ever in Sacramento, California, there's an outstanding railroad museum there.

It arrived in Singapore in 1911 and worked on the Singapore Government Railway between Pasir Panjang and Woodlands. The FMSR took over the working of the line in 1912 and purchased it outright a few years later, the locomotive then having their number 130 in their B class. In 1923 the Singapore line became connected to the Malayan mainland following the building of the Johore Causeway and the locomotive became surplus to requirements and was sold to Malayan Collieries at Batu Arang as their No 1 in May 1923. The mine was severely damaged during the Japanese occupation and closed in 1960 when everything was abandoned and much of the mining area became flooded.
