Information
Features

Originally intended to be a smaller version of the larger M Class, the L Class design was changed so it became a souped-up version of the K Class and inherited the K's wheelbase, barrel length and cylinder diameter. However, it received a larger boiler diameter and cylinder stroke. This gave the Ls a greater tractive effort while still retaining an unmistakably Manning Wardle aesthetic. Although standard locomotives had a similar frame, boiler and overall size and power to their classmates, there were a multitude of detail and cosmetic differences that could be chosen by the new owner. These included alternate wheels, buffers, steps, smoke boxes, lubricators and options with or without a covered cab. The L Class is no different. Around 100 L Class Manning Wardle's were built, with examples being shipped to places such as Sweden, Mexico, Hong Kong and China.

Of course, we cannot forget the eclectic mix of British contractors that also had L classes on their books, completing a multitude of work the length and breadth of the nation. Despite their modest size and range, the Manning Wardle#s distinctive look has always been popular with industrial railway enthusiasts. This popularity favoured them in the preservation era and a healthy number of standard and narrow-gauge locos survived across the world, with 2 Class Ls amongst them. Both engines can now be found at the Middleton Railway in Leeds.
