	MA1 was originally M Class number 8, one of 10 of its type built by Stevenson and Hawthorns in England and delivered to Tasmania in 1952. In 1957 and 1958 four of the M Class locomotives were modified by replacing their driving wheels with smaller ones. These smaller wheels came from Australian Standard Garrats which by that time were out of service. The aim of the wheel change was increased suitability when working goods trains on the Tasmanian Main, Western and Northern lines.
