Description
In the early 1910s, Beyer Peacock decided to begin building a standardized set of tank engines for use by those who requested tank engines from them. Their first design was the T1 class of 0-6-0 switchers. The first of which was built in 1913, with many of the early engines goign to the Railway Operating Division in World War 1. During the interwar years, liberal amounts of this type could be seen all across the UK on switching duty, including for even the Big Four railroads.However, many more were built come World War Two. Mainly serving as switchers for army trains. Then being sent with allied forces in Europe. In the end, numerous more examples of the T1 were sent to...

Today, this is one of the numerous steam engine classes in the entire world. Ranking among the LNS 8Fs and German Kriegsloks.
This class was also the type that inspired a blue locomotive iconic of British rail enthusiasts.
