SR Urie S15 4-6-0 30506

Loco Information

The S15's were designed purely as a Freight engine, working the heavy night express goods trains between Exeter and Nine Elms, and from Southampton and Nine Elms. They proved to be excellent engines.

The engine is now well advanced in its overhaul with the boiler now at Crewe for copper welding to take place. The new tender is virtually complete with final works being carried out this year. The main frames are soon to enter the Works for major overhaul ready for a steaming, it is hoped, within 18 months since it acted as Douglas the Black Engine.
