In the late 1880s and 1890s, the SECR built a class of 25 'R' locomotives to fulfill their need for more shunting locomotives. Between 1910 and 1922, 13 of the SER R class 0-6-0T were rebuilt by the SECR with Wainwright-design domed boilers of the same type as were used on the SECR H class 0-4-4T. These rebuilds were classified R1, but their capabilities and duties did not change substantially. All were withdrawn by BR by the end of 1960.
