Although good engines, the various Robinson 4-6-0 classes had a relatively short life, probably because they were 'non-standard, being ousted by Thompson B1s soon after World War 2. The B4 class were built mainly for fast freight and fish train work; No. 1486 (ex-No. 6101) was built 6/1906, withdrawn 10/47; it still has the wartime 'NE' on the tender.
