SR Maunsell Q-class No.30541 under repair at Sheffiled Park. Built in 1939 at Eastleigh this is the only example of this class remaining.
The Q Class, is a type of 0-6-0 steam locomotive designed by Richard Maunsell of the Southern Railway and constructed immediately prior to the Second World War, for use on medium-distance freight trains throughout 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. Nevertheless the locomotives performed adequately and reliably on the tasks for which they were designed until their withdrawal in 1965.

A brilliant day with the Q class, a sharp frost in the morning with a bright sunrise. The sun returned late afternoon.
Het station Horsted Keynes is ongeëvenaard voor museumlijnen: drie perrons, vijf perronsporen. Vroeger was het een splitsingsstation met een zijlijn naar de hoofdlijn bij Haywards Heith, die aan de hoofdlijnkant nog gebruikt wordt voor een bediening. Ten tijde van de start van de museumlijn was deze verbinding zelfs nog in gebruik met derde rail stellen! De Bluebell Railway is van plan de ontbrekende schakel weer in gebruik te nemen en daar ook daadwerkelijk met elektrisch derde rail materieel te gaan rijden - wat ook weer uniek zou zijn. Ondertussen is Horsted Keynes een station vol sfeer. De 30541 ontmoet de fraaie 21C123. Dit is een Bullied Pacific van de 'West Country Class' (genoemd vanwege de inzet op de lijnen naar de westkant van de Southern waar locomotieven met beperkte aslast nodig waren) en hier aanwezig in de uitvoering van de begintijd bij Southern, van voor de nationalisatie. De loc is 'unrebuilt', wat inhoudt dat hij de originele stroomlijnbeplating altijd heeft behouden. De opvallende schildering was de 'Malachite' variant op het standaard groen van de Southern, ontworpen door Bullied zelf. De nummering was eveneens afwijkend ten opzichte van de standaard, 21C was in die tijd de UIC codering voor de Pacific asindeling wat op het vasteland 2'C1' (2 loopassen, 3 aangedreven assen, 1 loopas) was en in de UK dus elders 4-6-2 heette. Bij BR kreeg de loc de standaard donkergroene kleur en nummer 34023.

Q Class 30541 had had the guard's signal to depart from Horsted Keynes with the 11am Sheffield Park to East Grinstead when it was pulled up short because a door had not been closed properly. Here they are again waiting authority to proceed. July 8th 2017

The third and final shot from 1973 shows two ex-Southern Railway locomotives in the scrapyard at Barry. In the middle foreground is an unidentified Merchant Navy Pacific looking in a very sad state, but behind it is 30541 looking as though its removal from the yard may not be too far ahead. 30541 is a 1939-built 'Q' Class 0-6-0, now thankfully, saved and working at the fabulous Bluebell Railway
The weather was far less than ideal but still a great day to see this loco on a box van train during its visit from the Bluebell Railway.
