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.
