The decision to proceed with an 0-6-0T design was discussed between Ivatt and Aspinall due to issues with preceding 0-6-4T locomotives.[3] Ivatt's design incorporated the same cylinders, coupled-wheels and boilers as the 0-6-4Ts.[4]
Service
Constraints on the locomotive design meant that the coupled wheelbase had to be as short as possible to negotiate the curves in the dock areas but the locomotive had to have sufficient power available for the increasing load of the trains.[citation needed]
Under the system employed by the Great Southern Railways they became Class J11.[1] All of the class survived until 1949, with No. 217 being withdrawn in 1961 and No. 201 withdrawn in 1963.[1]
