List of SR V "Schools" class locomotives

List of SR V "Schools" class locomotives

Below are the names and numbers of the SR V "Schools" class locomotives designed by Richard Maunsell. Another successful publicity campaign by the Southern Railway when named from 1930 onwards, they represented the public schools of the south of England, initially due to their proximity to the railway that served them. The class naming process consisted of pupils attending these schools visiting "their" engine during the naming ceremonies.
