Entering service in March 1878, this "Terrier" was chosen by its designer, William Stroudley, to represent the LB&SCR at the Paris Exhibition in 1878. It was purchased by the Isle of Wight Central Railway, where it entered service in 1902 as its No. 11, before a rebuild to ‘A1X’ in August 1918. Passing back into SR ownership at the 1923 Grouping, it was given the name ‘Newport’ in 1930, which it kept until going to Eastleigh for overhaul in 1947

The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway was a railway company in the United Kingdom from 1846 to 1922. Its territory formed a rough triangle with London as its apex, practically the entire Sussex coast as a base covering much of Surrey.
