Along with the NZR [E class](/source/NZR_E_class_(1872)) they were the first locomotives for the [NZR](/source/New_Zealand_Railways_Department).[2] Originally called *Clutha* before being renamed *Edie Ochiltree* it entered service in 1872 as No. 8 of the Otago Railway, it was renumbered F36 in 1877 before receiving its current number F13 and losing its name in 1885. It was then based at [Christchurch](/source/Christchurch) with sibling locomotive F163 where it saw shunting duty service and in 1958 it was named *Peveril* and participated in the NZR's centenary celebrations in 1963 before being withdrawn in 1965. It was later donated to [Ferrymead](/source/Ferrymead_Heritage_Park) in 1967 where it was stored before being put on display in 1973. It was restored between 1982 and 1984 and was used for passenger services on the railway. Apart from a few cases between 1987 and 1990 and a brief period in 1999,[3] the locomotive has remained at Ferrymead and the Christchurch-Lyttleton area. It was withdrawn from service in the 1990s and remained in storage before being restored to working order in 2014. ## References ### Citations 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Steam Locomotive 'Peveril' Celebrates 150 Years Of Service | Scoop News"](https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/AK2309/S00582/steam-locomotive-peveril-celebrates-150-years-of-service.htm). *www.scoop.co.nz*. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-FOOTNOTECavalcade12519884_2-0)** [Cavalcade125 1988](#CITEREFCavalcade1251988), p. 4. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-3)** ["Steam Locomotives"](http://www.trainweb.org/ferrymeadrail/locos_steam.htm). *www.trainweb.org*. ### Bibliography - Barry, Colin; Brouwer, John; Dash, Colin; Dickenson, Peter; Shalders, Bruce (1988).
