The SECR C Class is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive, designed by Harry Wainwright and built between 1900 and 1908. They operated in London and south-east England until the early 1960s. One example was rebuilt as an S Class saddle tank. The SECR held trials in November 1898 to decide on a standard freight locomotive design. Two existing 0-6-0 locomotives were tested: The LCDR B2 Class and former SER O Class. The B2 design proved superior and a new order for 40 locomotives based on it was placed. These new locomotives were designed by Harry Wainwright and formed the first of the C class. The locos were used on freight services and occasional passenger excursion trains (such as hop-picking specials), throughout the SER between Reading railway station and the Kent Coast. One has been preserved on the Bluebell Railway. It was featured in the train scene of The Wind in the Willows (1996). In 2016, the locomotive was featured in the film, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. |
