Based on a design used on the Isle of Wight railway these 18 locomotives were purchased for suburban passenger service but a serious accident saw them banned from this work. Withdrawals commenced in 1905. 10 members of the class survived to the 1924 renumbering.

1036 was fitted with a 4 ton bunker mounted coaling crane for a short period (around 1912 - 1914). 1036 spent time as shunter at Junee(1949), Taree(1951) and Enfield finishing her days at Junee. The locomotive was cut up at Cardiff during February 1966, the boiler was used to overhaul 1076.

During its time at Junee, 1036 carried its old number 23 and was known as "Fanny" (a name applied to a number of F class locomotives).
