The LBSCR era model "Brighton" selected by Hornby had an interesting history as iw was sent to Paris for a world fair in 1878, and won a gold medal for the quality of the workmanship. It then resumed a normal working career and was based at Battersea engine shed, working passenger services in the London area. The locomotive has been popular in preservation and can still be seen to this day.

Prototype Information
The LB&SCR-built "Terrier" A1 locomotives were constructed between 1872 and 1880 at Brighton works. The class were nicknamed "Terriers" due to their distinctive exhaust note but also gained other names such as "Rooters" and "Hayling Billy". Originally working on passenger services out of London Bridge and Victoria stations, they moved to shunting and shorter passenger services after being replaced by larger locomotives. 17 of these were rebuilt to A1X class between 1911 and 1913, which involved re-boilering the locomotives as well as extending the smokeboxes, moving the placement of the sandboxes and some other changes.
