Built by Bob for Alan
LSWR O2

The O2 was designed by W Adams for the London and south Western Railway. 60 were built between 1889 and 1895 mainly for London suburban traffic. As electrification gained pace they were reallocated to branch lines. Some went to the Isle of Weight where they were the last to be withdrawn in 1966.
