4-4-0 Class D1 SECR Profile and Models

The SECR D class is a class of 4-4-0 tender locomotives designed by Harry Wainwright for the South Eastern and Chatham Railway. Initially the D class was put to work on the Kent coast and Hastings services out of London. In 1913 Richard Maunsell started the rebuilding of 21 D Class locomotives with Belpaire fireboxes to produce the more powerful D1 class. These bigger engines were needed to cope with increasing loads on the Kent Coast Line through Chatham. These survived in use later with BR but none have been preserved.
