The SR Z class was an 0-8-0T 3-cylinder tank engine designed by Richard Maunsell and intended for heavy shunting on the Southern Railway the first eight entering into service in 1929. It was a successful design and would have been built in greater numbers but an order for a further ten was cancelled in 1930 due to the reduction in freight traffic as a result of the Great Depression.
