Southern Railway Q1

Southern Railway Q1

The Q1 was built in 1942 to a design by the innovative OVS Bulleid for the Southern Railway to help deal with the huge increase in rail traffic caused by the Second World War. Under wartime 'austerity' materials were in short supply, hence the locomotive does not have a 'running board' above the wheels.
