The LSWR T3 class was a class of express passenger 4-4-0 steam locomotives designed for the London and South Western Railway by William Adams. Twenty were constructed between 1892–1893. The class were numbered 557–576, and had been intended as a variant of the X2 class with slightly smaller driving wheels ( versus ). In reality, the coupled wheelbase was lengthened by and the locomotive was fitted with a firebox deep – the largest firebox of any of Adams' designs.〔Russell (1991) p. 175〕 All passed to the Southern Railway at the grouping in 1923. Withdrawals started in 1930, and by the end of 1933 only three remained. No. 557 went in 1936, 571 in 1943, and the last, 563 was retired in August 1945 and set aside for preservation. Its permanent home is the Shildon Locomotion Museum in England. From May to October 2011 it was in Toronto, Ontario, on loan for use in a theatrical production of The Railway Children at Roundhouse Park, a role it reprised in January 2015 when the production was staged at Kings Cross, London.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://railwaychildrenlondon.com/about/facts-figures )〕 == References == * ==External Links== * (LSWR T3 class No. 563 at the National Railway Museum ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LSWR T3 class」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
