LB&SCR L class

The LB&SCR L Class was a class of 4-6-4 steam tank locomotives designed by L. B. Billinton for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway. They were known as the "Brighton Baltics", "Baltic" being the European name for the 4-6-4 wheel arrangement.

Seven were built between 1914 and 1922 and they were used for express passenger services. Their LBSC numbers were 327-333. Three of them were named:

* No. 327 "Charles G Macrae"
* No. 329 "Stephenson"
* No. 333 "Remembrance"

Southern Railway numbers were 2327-2333.

All were converted to N15X Class tender locomotives between 1934 and 1936.

Locomotives 2329 and 2333 retained their names in their new form, the rest received the names: 2327 "Trevithick", 2331 "Beattie", 2332 "Stroudley".

Spare parts left over were used to make the LSWR Class N15 tender locomotivesFact|date=October 2007.
