Based on the saddle tanks built by Hawthorn Leslie before they were amalgamated into Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns a large number of these diminutive 0-4-0STs were built for industrial use between 1899 and 1924. Some continued in these roles until the mid 1970s with ten or more examples still existing today in preservation.
