The LB&SCR I2 class was a class of 4-4-2 steam tank locomotives designed by D. E. Marsh for suburban passenger service on the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway. It was a development of the earlier LB&SCR I1 class.
[edit] Numbering
LB&SCR numbers were 11-20. The Southern Railway, which acquired the locomotives in 1923, initially numbered them B11-B20 and later 2011-2020.
[edit] Withdrawal
All were withdrawn between 1933 and 1939 but two locomotives, numbers 2013 and 2019, saw further service on the Longmoor Military Railway where they survived until at least 1947. At Longmoor, they were numbered 2400 and 2401 respectively. These numbers were later changed to 72400 and 72401. None of the class has been preserved.
