One of the second batch of these locomotives delivered in September
1879 by the ship "Niobe",
Originaly of very american appearance they were rebuilt with
Belpaire fireboxes and conventional chimneys in the early 1900s.
The class spent much of their life as bank engines at Murrurundi and
Penrith and finished their days on Newcastle and Illawarra coal traffic.
All were scrapped between 1927 and 1937. See also Grunbach page 56 has a photo of 1008 in original
