Southern Railway Q1284 viewsSouthern Railway Q1

The Q1 was built in 1942 to a design by the innovative OVS Bulleid for the Southern Railway to help deal with the huge increase in rail traffic caused by the Second World War. Under wartime 'austerity' materials were in short supply, hence the locomotive does not have a 'running board' above the wheels.

Evening Star was the last steam locomotive to be built for British Railways. It was one of a total of 999 'standard' locomotives designed for a wide variety of uses, from tank engines for local passenger trains to large freight engines like Evening Star. The 'Standards' were planned to keep the railways running until widespread electrification.
