The SR Class W were 3-cylinder 2-6-4T tank engines designed in 1929 by Richard Maunsell for use on the Southern Railway . They were introduced in 1932 and constructed at Eastleigh and Ashford. The class was intended for short distance inter-company/regional freight traffic transfer in London and were standardised with parts from the N N1 U and U1 classes.
