Overview
The locomotives had outside cylinders with inside valves and inside Stephenson valve gear. There were two variants:
The extra 500 imperial gallons (2,300 l; 600 US gal) of water in the Q1/2 was carried in the rear tank, under the coal bunker, resulting in a reduced coal capacity.
Withdrawal
All the Class Q1 locomotives were withdrawn and scrapped from 1954 to 1959. None have been preserved.
