In 1863 the Furness Railway purchased its last batch of 0-4-0 tender engines from Sharp Stewart & Co. of Manchester. [...] These locomotives had only a short life with the F.R., for the railway sold them in 1870 to Schneider & Hannay, now the Barrow Haematite Steel Co., and the latter converted them into saddle tanks.
