View NE in the Locomotive Yard. No. 15202 was one of three pioneer 0-6-0 Diesel-electrics built to Bulleid/English-Electric design for the Southern Railway in 1937. (The type was in use quite extensively on the LMSR, with also a few each on the LNER and GWR before and after the war: another 25 were built by the SR in 1949-52. They were the precursors of the 1,200 Class 08 built for BR up until 1962. (For an example, see Image]).
