The SR Q1 class is a type of austerity steam locomotive constructed during the Second World War. The class was designed by Oliver Bulleid for use on the intensive freight turns experienced during wartime on the Southern Railway network. A total of 40 locomotives were built.

The Pennsylvania Railroad class Q1, #6130, was a single experimental steam locomotive designed for dual service. The locomotive entered service in 1942, and retired in 1949 after accumulating a relatively low 165,000 service miles.

The Q1 class was built in 1942 in response to this need and they were the most powerful 0-6-0 locomotives to run in Britain. They also had the dubious reputation of being just about the ugliest locomotive ever to run in the country. On seeing a photograph of one William Stanier is reputed to have asked ‘Where’s the key?’

The Q1's greatest weakness was its restricted braking power on unfitted goods trains and it is this that prevented further batches being built after the war. It was built as an "Austerity" design to serve during the war but such was its success that it lasted well towards the end of steam operations on British Railways, mostly hauling heavy ...

The Q Class is a type of 0-6-0 steam locomotive designed by Richard Maunsell of the Southern Railway and constructed immediately prior to the Second World War for use on medium-distance freight trains throughout the network. Twenty locomotives were built by Maunsell's successor, Oliver Bulleid, in 1938.

The Southern Railway Class Q1 is a type of steam locomotive, and represents the ultimate development of the British 0-6-0 freight engine. In late 1939 the Southern Railway, until then primarily a high-density commuter railway serving London and South-East England, suddenly found itself on the British frontlines of the Second World War.
