===New Zealand===
The Class J of the [[New Zealand Railways Department]] (NZR) was its pioneering tender freight locomotive, introduced in 1877 for use in the re-gauged Canterbury region of the South Island. Built by the [[Avonside Engine Company]] and other locomotive works in England, they were shipped to New Zealand in kit form. They eventually served all over New Zealand's fledgling rail network on both islands. In time, they were replaced on mainline running as larger power arrived. Many survived into the 1920s as yard shunters and some were converted to tank locomotives.<ref>The NZR Steam Locomotive, Sean Miller, 2011, {{ISBN|978-0-908573-89-9}}</ref>
