#e2 class

I have such delightful horrors to unleash upon thee

the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway or the LB&SCR E2 Class was a class that was designed by Lawson Billinton, with only 10 built from 1913 to 1916.the E2 was built to replace the Stroudley E1 class locomotives. they all were withdrawn from service and scrapped from 1961 to 1963. with a Whyte of 0-6-0T, these standard gauge tank engines where built for shunting and pulling short-distance freight trains. two versions of the E2 were built, with the second design having extended side tanks. Two were tried in 1914 as passenger locomotives on push-pull duties with 6 coaches, but the experiment was abandoned that the same year as they had insufficient coal capacity for the task. the livery that theses loco’s would have been painted in is umber brown with gold lining, but the later E2 would have been painted black with LBSC on the sides.
