This is a book that looks at the 0-6-0 tender goods locomotives of the
Southern Railway, from the steam locomotive classes taken over at the
railway grouping in 1923, through to the two classes introduced during
Southern Railway days, that of the Q and Q1 classes.
The Southern Railway had a rich and varied number of 0-6-0 tender goods
classes, originating from all three former main line pre grouping
companies, many of them lasted until the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Many of the older Victorian and Edwardian classes of locomotive taken
over in 1923, did not last very long with the new company, but are
covered here for historical and modeling interest.
