The LSWR 395 class was a class of goods 0-6-0 steam locomotives designed for the London and South Western Railway by William Adams as part of his modernisation programme. All 70 were constructed by Neilson and Company between 1881 and 1886. The last 34 locomotives differed in being slightly longer and heavier. Between 1916 and 1918 fifty locomotives were sold to the British Government for use by the Railway Operating Division of the Royal Engineers. These included all 16 not in the duplicate list. The ROD transferred 36 of the class to its Palestine Military Railway and nine for service in the Mesopotamian campaign. In 1918 seven of those delivered to Palestine were transferred to Mesopotamia. After the First World War twenty class 395's remained in Great Britain. All were scrapped. |
