Use of these locomotives

Private companies like Manning, Wardle & Company were building locomotives as early as 1858 when E.B. Wilson and Company closed.[1] Later located themselves at Boyne Engine Works (1840) in Jack Lane. Within the next few years, Hunslet Engine Company and Hudswell Clarke moved in besides Manning Wardle. One of Manning Wardle's oldest recorded locomotives was Sidlesham, an ex-industrial 0-6-0ST later used on West Sussex Railway. There were also companies as old or older, Kitson & Company, formerly Todd, Kitson and Laird, formed in 1838.

Only notable locomotives with a sizeable amount of information and/or a known recent/current status will be included. Many of these locomotives have been named after where they worked.
