LU ex Metropolitan E Class

ex Metropolitan Railway E Class tank locomotive in London Underground livery. Seven of these engines were built between 1896 and 1901. The first 3 built at Neasden Works, and another 4 by Hawthorn Leslie. Orders for at least another 7 were planned, but not ordered due to the advancement of the electrification program. Most were originally fitted with condensing apparatus, so could run in the cut & cover sections as well as in the open. Originally they operated passenger services out to Aylesbury, but from 1937 they were confined to engineering and ballast workings. They were withdrawn in 1956 when replaced by the red panniers, but thankfully Locomotive L44 (originally no. 79, later no. 1) is preserved at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre at Quainton Road.
