Southern Railways

The Southern Railway was the runt of the litter in the big four grouping, but it had some interesting assets, nevertheless. Foremost among them was O.V.Bulleid, a very imaginative locomotive designer. Best known for his unusually streamlined pacifics, he also was responsible for the odd-looking but highly functional Q1 class, as well as an Irish turf-burning loco.
