They were designed by James Sterling and originally had a simple low cab and no dome. They were the first South Eastern locomotives built specifically for shunting and light freight duties with some 25 being produced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn 1899 Harry Wainwright took over as chief mechanical engineer of a combined SE\u0026amp;CR and LC\u0026amp;DR, he set about rebuilding some of the older engines including the R class tank engines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOur model faithfully reproduces this engine in 5' gauge, with all the style and Victorian elegance of the original. It has a copper boiler with both hand and crosshead pumps. There is a screw regulator mounted in the smoke box. Steam from the boiler is superheated and then fed into a cast iron cylinder block mounted between the frames.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere are two cylinders 40mm dia. by 50mm stroke, with piston valves operated by Stephenson's link valve gear.
