M1 (prior to 1958 designated M7) Builders' Number 7427, was built for Tasmanian Government Railways to be used primarily as a passenger loco. These were the last steam locomotives ordered by TGR. Because passenger services were in decline at this time, largely due to higher personal vehicle ownership and improved Tasmanian roads, M1 did not see a lot of service as a passenger loco. M1 was used, instead, for goods and mixed trains before being withdrawn from service in 1960, its role superseded by diesel locomotives. Stored and preserved in a park at Ross in 1971. Acquired by DVR in April 2000 and transferred to New Norfolk soon after and stored.
