Locomotives of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) – 1920. I have just been given a small pamphlet style paperback book compiled and published in June 1920 by W.G. Tilling. The featured image for this article comes from the frontispiece of Tilling’s book. It is a picture of the Class L 4-6-4T superheated large tank locomotive ‘Charles C. Macrae’. [1] Tilling’s forward to the book states: “For many years particulars of the locomotives running on our railway lines were difficult to obtain, but the Great Western Railway Company a year or two back broke through the usual official reticence by publishing a list of all their named engines. This was doubtless done to interest the general public in that railway, and I believe has proved a successful advertisement. “Unofficial lists have also been published of the engines of the London and North Western Railway and a few of the smaller lines. Following these examples, I am prompted to deal with the locomotives of the London Brighton and South Coast Railway." http://rogerfarnworth.com/2026/06/13/lo ... bscr-1920/ |
