SR Q Class 0-6-0 30541 running around at Sheffield Park before hauling the 2:15pm service to East Grinstead
This is former Great Northern Railway Q class steam engine numbered 131 which is now operated by the RPSI in Ireland.
30541 is an Southern Railway, Q Class, 0-6-0 steam locomotive designed by Richard Maunsell and constructed immediately prior to the Second World War, for use on medium-distance freight trains throughout the network. Twenty locomotives were built by Maunsell's successor, Oliver Bulleid, in 1938. The design was relatively old-fashioned and the class was soon afterwards eclipsed by Bulleid's own more powerful Q1 class 0-6-0's built in 1942. Nevertheless, the Q Cl;ass locomotives performed adequately and reliably until their withdrawal in 1965. Only 30541 has survived being retrieved from Woodhams Scrapyard in Barry in 1978 and was restored and now preserved on the Bluebell Railway.

I have never been interested in modelling and an unsure why I took this and not a photograph of the Q class itself.
30530 was built at Eastleigh as Southern Railway 530 entering service on 10th January 1938. Not having good steaming qualities Bullied gradually fittedv the class with Lemaitre blastpipes, which improved steaming. 530 was so fitted in January 1947. September 1948. Later fitted in October 1961 with a BR standard 4 blastpipe and chimney.Withdrawn December 1964, mileage 539,992. Broken up in May 1965
