  No. 1 locomotive was one of four locomotives which arrived in Sydney on the 'John Fielding' (or 'Fielden') and landed at Campbell's Wharf, Circular Quay on 13 January 1855. The locomotives were hauled by a team of twenty horses to Slade's dairy paddock, near the site of the old railway stores building at Eveleigh, then placed on tracks and drawn into a temporary shed not far from the present Redfern Railway Station. William Scott, locomotive engineer with Robert Stephenson, who brought the locomotives out, then prepared them for service. (Reference: Powerhouse Museum)
