The
first 7 were ordered from Kitson and delivered in 1907. They were
FMSR class H1 according to the Kitson records. The next batch of
ten came from Nasmyth Wilson in 1908, four going to the FMSR and
six to the Johore State Railway, these last being in
Caledonian blue livery. Later in 1908 the FMSR
received a further 11 from Kitson, this time the records showing
them simply as class H, as were the remainder, although thicker
frames had increased the weight by over 2½ tons. The Johore
locomotives were taken over by the FMSR in 1912. Meanwhile a
further batch of four had arrived from Kitson in 1911 and was
followed by batches of six and three in 1912, ten in 1913 and
five in 1914. R Stephenson had built the remaining four in 1913.
In the tables below the dates for Kitson Locomotives are taken
from the Kitson trials book.
