The SECR L class was a class of 4-4-0 steam tender locomotive built for express passenger service on the South Eastern and Chatham Railway. Although designed by Harry Wainwright, they were built during the Maunsell era, twelve by Beyer Peacock and ten by Borsig of Berlin. The Borsig locomotives were completed just in time before the outbreak of World War I. They were supplied in knocked down form and assembled at Ashford railway works by Borsig employees.

Numbering

SECR numbers were 760-781 and all passed to the Southern Railway (SR) in 1923. The SR initially added an "A" prefix to the SECR numbers and later renumbered the engines 1760-1781. All passed to British Railways (BR) in 1948 and BR numbered them 31760-31781. They were withdrawn between 1956 and 1961 and none has been preserved.

L1 class

The Southern Railway L1 class was a development, by Maunsell in 1926, of the L class. Weight was increased to 57 tons 16 cwt and the engines had long-travel piston valves, side-window cab and other detail alterations. BR numbers were 31753-31759 and 31782-31789.
