===United Kingdom=== ====Tank locomotives==== [[File:Aveling & Porter engine at Chatham.JPG|thumb|left|Aveling & Porter Loco, [[Chatham Dockyard]]]]The tank engine versions of the wheel arrangement began to appear in the United Kingdom in the early 1850s, with the first significant class being six saddle tanks designed by [[Robert Sinclair (locomotive engineer)|Robert Sinclair]] for the [[Caledonian Railway]]. [[File:Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway 0-4-0ST locomotive WREN.jpg|thumb|[[Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway]] {{nowrap|0-4-0ST}} locomotive WREN]] By 1860 the type was very popular and it continued to be built in significant numbers for both [[Main line (railway)|mainline]] and [[industrial railway]]s, almost to the end of steam traction. [[Hudswell Clarke]] were supplying [[Tank locomotive#Saddle tank|industrial saddle tanks]] until at least 1947,<ref>The Industrial Locomotive Society, Steam locomotives in industry, David and Charles, 1967, p.30.</ref> and both [[Andrew Barclay Sons & Co.|Barclay]] and [[Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns]] until 1949.<ref>H.C. Casserley, Preserved locomotives, 5th edition, Ian Allan, 1980, {{ISBN|0-7110-0991-0}}. p.161.</ref> An interesting variation on this theme were the [[traction engine]]-based railway locomotives built by [[Aveling and Porter]]. The last [[British Railways]] [[LMS Kitson 0-4-0ST|0-4-0ST dock shunters]] were built by [[Horwich Works]] as late as 1955 and survived until 1966. ====Tender locomotives==== [[File:Furness Railway No 20.jpg|thumb|Furness Railway Locomotive No. 20, 1863]] During the 1840s, the wheel arrangement was widely used by [[Edward Bury]] on the [[Bury Bar Frame locomotive|bar-framed locomotives]] built for the [[London and Birmingham Railway]]. However, with the exception of a few isolated examples used by the smaller companies such as the [[Cambrian Railways]], the [[Locomotives of the Furness Railway|Furness Railway]] and the [[Taff Vale Railway]], and four examples built by [[Edward Fletcher (engineer)]] of the [[North Eastern Railway (UK)|North Eastern Railway]] between 1854 and 1868, the 0-4-0 tender locomotive had been largely superseded on Britain's mainline railways by 1850.<ref>Bertram Baxter, British Locomotive Catalogue 1825β1923, Vol.1, Moorland Publishing Company, 1977. {{ISBN|0-903485-50-8}}.</ref> {{-}}
