LB&SCR L class
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The LB&SCR L Class was a class of 4-6-4 steam tank locomotives designed by L. B. Billinton for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway. They were known as the "Brighton Baltics", Baltic being the European name for the 4-6-4 wheel arrangement.
Seven were built between 1914 and 1922 and they were used for express passenger services. Their LBSC numbers were 327-333. Three of them were named:
- No. 327 Charles G Macrae
- No. 329 Stephenson
- No. 333 Remembrance
Southern Railway numbers were 2327-2333.
All were converted to N15X Class tender locomotives between 1934 and 1936.
Locomotives 2329 and 2333 retained their names in their new form, the rest received the names: 2327 Trevithick, 2331 Beattie, 2332 Stroudley.
Spare parts left over were used to make the LSWR Class N15 tender locomotives[citation needed].
