British Railways (SR) – ‘Q-1 Class’ 0-6-0 No.33022 on shed 75D Horsham Shed 17/07/1960
SR Q1 Class No. 33022 was built in 1942 at Ashford and is a type of austerity steam locomotive constructed during the Second World War. The class was designed by Oliver Bulleid for use on the intensive freight turns experienced during wartime on the Southern Railway network. A total of 40 locomotives were built. Bulleid incorporated many innovations and weight-saving concepts to produce a highly functional design. The class lasted in service until July 1966, and the first member of the class, number C1, has been preserved by the National Railway Museum in York.
In late 1939, the Southern Railway, until then primarily a high-density commuter railway serving London and South-East England, much of it electrified with third-rail pick-up, found itself on the British front line of the Second World War, with a severe lack of modern freight-handling capability. The newest freight design was the Q Class 0-6-0 of 1938, the last locomotive designed by Richard Maunsell (retired 1938) and finished by Bulleid Built to essentially Victorian era principles, these had been designed as replacements for many of the older 0-6-0s inherited by the Southern Railway in 1923, and entered service in January 1938.
The highly unusual and controversial design represents the ultimate development of the British 0-6-0 freight engine, capable of hauling trains that were usually allocated to much larger locomotives on other railways. The Q1’s had many nicknames which included "Ugly Ducklings", "Coffee Pots", "Charlies", "Biscuit Tins", "Biscuit Barrels", "Clockworks" and "Frankenstein’s".
Q1 Class 0-6-0 No.33022, designed by Bullied built at Ashford (BR) in 1942, – in 1948 it was allocated to 71A Eastleigh Shed and remained there until being withdrawn in 1964 when it was scrapped at Cohens Morriston, Swansea.
