This was the E, later called E1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 78 locomotives might have looked like a stretched version of the Terrier but they carved out a niche as a strong and capable performer. They were less well received when used on passenger trains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStroudleys successors, Robert Billinton and Douglas Marsh left their respective marks on the E1s, changing boiler designs and making detail changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Southern Railway inherited 62 E1s. It sold five into industry, modified four for use on the Isle of Wight and turned ten more into E1\/R 0-6-2Ts to work lines in the West Country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe E1s lasted well into BR days. The last Isle of Wight example, No. 4 Wroxall, was withdrawn in October 1960 while the last E1 used on the mainland, No. 32694, was not condemned until July 1961. Happily, No. 110, one of the quintet sold into industry, survived into preservation and is now under overhaul at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway where it will return to service as No. 2 Yarmouth in full Southern Railway lined green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures include\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarsh boiler and Drummond chimney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron brake blocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlated over coal rails fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlus lots of other locomotive specific details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNext18 decoder socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprung buffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEM pockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efactory fitted speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuseum quality finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth \u0026amp; powerful mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLots of separately fitted parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"related-product-list xxl-margin-top-d xxl-margin-top-m\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43137804501055,"sku":"936509","price":238.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/9819\/4239\/files\/rapido-936009-e1-no.-32694-br-black-early-oo-gauge-1-162110-p_f9e834db-56e1-4207-afdf-16644b0c8cfa.jpg?v=1776340559","url":"https:\/\/www.ttcdiecast.com\/products\/rapido-936509-e1-no-32694-br-black-early-oo-gauge-sound-fitted","provider":"TTCDiecast.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
