History[]
Built between 1887 and 1888, a total of 20 examples were built for usage on passenger trains on the Victorian Railways. The locomotives were numbered 82, 92, 122, 242, 244, 248, 250, 260, and 322 to 344 (evens only). They were later rebuilt with new boilers in 1904-1909 and Numbers 328, 330, and 340 were changed to 190, 191, and 194 respectively in 1923. All 20 examples were withdrawn and the last one (194) was out of service by 1928.
None were preserved.
