Kirtley had requested six more examples of his earlier M class built by Neilson and Company for the London-Dover boat trains, but this request was turned down by the LCDR board, although he was given permission to build similar locomotives at the company's Longhedge Works in Battersea. Two locomotives were built during 1880 and a further two in 1881. However a fire in the machine shop seriously delayed work on the final two which eventually appeared as members of the M2 class in 1885. The class proved to be successful and completed high mileages. on the heaviest semi-fast trains. The locomotives passed to the South Eastern and Chatham Railway in 1899 and were considered to be sufficiently useful to be worth re-boilering between 1898 and 1904.[1] The class began to be withdrawn and scrapped from 1912.
Only one example survived into Southern Railway ownership in 1923, but was withdrawn almost immediately thereafter.
Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
