LB&SC E2 Class
From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere
The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) E2 Class was a class of 0-6-0T steam locomotives designed by Lawson Billinton, intended for shunting and short distance freight trains. Ten examples were built between 1913 and 1916. As a result of the association with the fictional Thomas the Tank Engine this minor class of tank locomotives must rank as one of the best known steam locomotive classes of all time.
