She is a member of William Stroudley's famous 'Terrier' class. She was based in South London at Battersea. She was purchased in 1903 to operate on the Lyme Regis branch line by the London and South Western Railway. She is believed to have arrived on the Isle of Wight on 25 June 1913, when she was hired by the Freshwater, Yarmouth and Newport Railway, in the company of seven carriages. Purchase was completed by 1917, when she was given the number 2 and repainted in a bright green livery. She acquired the number W8 and was re-named Freshwater when she Passed into Southern Railway ownership, she continued to serve the Island's railways into British Railway Ownership. British Railways, had her transferred back to the Mainland on 4 May 1949, where she spent the majority of her British Railways service working the Hayling Island branch until withdrawal on 9 November 1963. Acquired by the Sadler Railcar Co, She spent three years on the former Meon Valley line, based at Droxford Hampshire. Purchase by the former Portsmouth brewery Brickwoods, , was followed by a spell outside the Hayling Billy public house on Hayling Island as a pub sign . She returned to the Island on 25 1979 when the Wight Locomotive Society negotiated an agreement with Brickwoods' successors, Whitbread Wessex Ltd.[1] Preservation Having Arrived in June 1979 she returned to steam on 21 June 1981 after a rapid overhaul. Performing with ease the task that she was designed for so long ago, She has been a stalwart member of the locomotive fleet, and a brand new boiler commissioned in 1998 for W8 Freshwater, built at a cost of £35,000 by Israel Newton of Bradford, demonstrated the commitment of the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, to the operation of steam into the 21st century. After a rapid overhaul in 2009 W8 Freshwater is expected to be in service during the 2010 season. Livery LB&SCR Stroudley's Improved Engine Green.
