Data from "Kerr, Stuart "Victory" 0-6-0t in 00 gauge" on the Planet Industrials website at [], last accessed 17 November 2024; and "New Engines for the Brecon and Merthyr Railway", Locomotive News and Railway Contractor, Volume XI [11], No 7 (10 April 1922), p 210. Works numbers 3066-3075 in 1917.
Traffic demands on port railways led the Railway Directorate to order this set of six-coupled tanks in 1916. The first two went to the Royal Engineers, Sandwich Richborough Stores Yard; they had taller cabs than the other eight. That octet reported to Director General, Military Railways, Embarkation Staff Officer, Portsmouth.
Once the Armistice was declared on 11 November 1918, the dockyards' need for these tanks faded and all later ended up on industrial railways. Powell Duffryn Aberaman Colliery took two--10 and 15-- and numbered them 18-19. Alexandra Dockyards received the 13 and 17 as their 34-35 . The other six each went to collieries or small railways.
East Kent Railway 4 (ex-11) retained the locomotive. The BR took the locomotive, but was scrapped shortly after that in 1949.
Welsh railway Brecon and Merthyr bought the former 14 and renumbered it 35. After a short career on the B&M and the Great Western, the GWR sold the engine to Ashlington Collierly in 1929 as their 21.
Alexandra Dockyards scrapped its two locomotives in 1954-1955. The other three all worked into the 1960s with the Aberaman Colliery 18 going last 51 years after service entry in 1969.
