The LSWR N15 class was a British 2–cylinder 4-6-0 express passenger steam locomotive designed by Robert W. Urie. The class has a complex build history spanning three sub-classes and eight years of construction from 1918 to 1927. The first batch of the class was constructed for the London and South Western Railway (LSWR), where they hauled heavy express trains to the south coast ports and further west to Exeter. After the Lord Nelsons, they were the second biggest 4-6-0 passenger locomotives on the Southern Railway. They could reach speeds of up to 90 mph (145 km/h).

  • The LSWR N15 class was a British 2–cylinder 4-6-0 express passenger steam locomotive designed by Robert W. Urie. The class has a complex build history spanning three sub-classes and eight years of construction from 1918 to 1927. The first batch of the class was constructed for the London and South Western Railway (LSWR), where they hauled heavy express trains to the south coast ports and further west to Exeter. After the Lord Nelsons, they were the second biggest 4-6-0 passenger locomotives on the Southern Railway. They could reach speeds of up to 90 mph (145 km/h). Following the grouping of railway companies in 1923, the LSWR became part of the Southern Railway (SR) and its publicity department gave the N15 locomotives names associated with Arthurian legend; the class hence becoming known as King Arthurs. The Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME) of the newly formed company, Richard Maunsell, modified the Urie locomotives in the light of operational experience and increased the class strength to 74 locomotives. Maunsell and his Chief Draughtsman James Clayton incorporated several improvements, notably to the steam circuit and valve gear. The new locomotives were built over several batches at Eastleigh and Glasgow, leading to the nicknames of "Eastleigh Arthurs", "Scotch Arthurs" and Scotchmen in service. The class was subjected to smoke deflection experiments in 1926, becoming the first British class of steam locomotive to be fitted with smoke deflectors. Maunsell's successor, Oliver Bulleid, attempted to improve performance by altering exhaust arrangements. The locomotives continued operating with British Railways (BR) until the end of 1962. One example, SR N15 class 777 Sir Lamiel, is preserved as part of the National Collection and can be seen on mainline railtours. (en)
  • LSWR N15 class, SR King Arthur class — британский двухцилиндровый магистральный пассажирский паровоз с осевой формулой 2-3-0, разработанный Робертом Ури. На основе первоначального типа было создано три подтипа, производство паровоза продолжалось восемь лет с 1919 по 1926 год. Первая партия построена для London and South Western Railway (LSWR), где они использовались на магистральных линиях к портам южного побережья Англии и далее на запад в Эксетер. На Southern Railway этот локомотив был вторым по размеру после SR Lord Nelson class. После объединения железнодорожных компаний в 1923 году LSWR стала частью Southern Railway (SR), и по предложению отдела рекламы, паровозам типа стали присваивать имена, связанные с легендой о короле Артуре. Главный механик вновь образованной компании, Ричард Манселл, по результатам эксплуатации внёс изменения в конструкцию Ури и довёл число локомотивов до 74. Манселл и его главный конструктор Джеймс Клэйтон внедрили ряд улучшений, в частности, в паровом контуре и парораспределительном механизме. Локомотивы строились несколькими партиями в Истли и Глазго. В 1926 году на этом типе был проведён эксперимент с дефлекторами дыма, что сделало его первым британским паровозом, оснащенным данным устройством. Преемник Манселла, Оливер Булейд, пытался повысить производительность за счет изменения системы выхлопа. Паровозы продолжали работать на британских железных дорогах до конца 1962 года. Один из паровозов этого типа, 30777 Sir Lamiel, включён в коллекцию британского Национального музея железнодорожного транспорта и используется в исторических поездках. (ru)
