1030 was the first purpose built crane locomotive to be ordered. It was exhibited at the Garden Palace Exhibition before entering service. The crane is mounted on a platform above the centre of the boiler, it is manualy rotated and lifts by means of a winch cable. The jib does not luff. A second batch like it were ordered in 1886, these being 1034 and 1038. 1030 was withdrawn in 1971 and stored with some parts used in the restoration of 1034. It was finaly scrapped in February 1975
Victorian railways purchased an identical (apart from gauge) crane in 1883.
