LSWR D15 class
open-in-new
<p>The LSWR D15 class <a href="/facts/4-4-0/l08RCxAm">4-4-0</a> was the last <a href="/facts/Steam_locomotive/cXEQwhFk">steam locomotive</a> design by <a href="/facts/Dugald_Drummond/ldYTkxIl">Dugald Drummond</a> for the <a href="/facts/London_and_South_Western_Railway/pbHwpqts">London and South Western Railway</a> in 1912. By 1912, Dugald Drummond had built several classes of unsuccessful <a href="/facts/4-6-0/GYNMe4Vm">4-6-0</a> express passenger locomotives. The result of these failures was that when he designed what was to be his last class in 1911, a new 4-4-0 design emerged from <a href="/facts/Eastleigh_Works/2cCLyXtz">Eastleigh Works</a> in February 1912, with what was to be the first of his D15 class. </p>
