161-172 The 1914 H15s.

On Drummond's death, Urie took over and began a serious shake-up of the LSWR locomotive stock. The first move was to design a batch of 4-6-0 mixed traffic locomotives, the H15s. This began in 1914 but was then held up by the war. This post features those 1914 introductions, numbered 482-491, plus 335.
