Former LSWR Beattie 0-4-2WT locomotive as Southern Railway 0314


The London and South Western Railway (LSWR) 0298 Class or Beattie Well Tank is a class of British steam locomotive. They are 2-4-0WTs, originally built between 1863 and 1875 for use on passenger services in the suburbs of London, but later used on rural services in South West England. Out of a total production of 85, two locomotives have been preserved in an operational condition. The locomotive seen was built in 1874 as LSWR 314, renumbered 0314 (as seen here) in 1901 and 3314 in 1936, before being withdrawn in 1962 as BR 30585
