The Urie large engine 4-6-0 family added a passenger class after World War One numbered N15. 736-745 were built in 1918-19, with 746-755 added in 1922-3. Within the family, many parts were interchangeable for efficiency. All the below have 8 wheel tenders, but some later models had 6 wheel tenders because of line restrictions. These engines were later integrated into the King Arthur Class and given Arthurian names. Many of these photographs show the engines before naming. See also above photos 71-3 and 75 showing 737, 740, 752 and 755.
191. LSWR 737 was later named King Uther. These before and after photographs show the value of photo-enhancement.
192. LSWR 736, later Excalibur
194. LSWR 740, later Merlin in three photos
195. LSWR 745, later Tintagel
196. LSWR 747, later Elaine. Note the tender with oil tank, hence around 1921.
197. LSWR 748 was later named Vivien
198. LSWR 755, later The Red Knight
199. LSWR 749, in Southern livery, but still unnamed. Later named Iseult. Worth recording in spite of the blemish on the print.
