Southern freight locos

[hammy]

Sorry if this has been asked before have had a search. Now I'm currently modeling southern railway around 1935-1940 olive green and am having problems finding out what the Southern used as freight locos that's available as Rtr any help would be very much be grateful used to modeling 2000's era do steam is a big departure from my comfort zone

When it comes to the SR pretty much every locomotive was considered mixed traffic at some point. I’ve seen pictures of schools and king Arthur’s being used.
 

But for specialist freight locomotives RTR you have the Bachmann SECR C class, Hornby LSWR 700 class or the Hornby SR Q1.

Hornby S15 would be a good start.

Unfortunately the Q1 only appeared in 1942, so a bit outside the required period. @Oldddudders has suggested the H15, but like most Southern locos, their use was often confined to one of the three sections - Western (Basically LSWR), Central (LBSCR) and Eastern (SECR) - so much depends on the chosen location, although around London and Guildford all three came together, and some locos did get moved about the system. The Central (Brighton) Section did make use of tank engines for a lot of their goods workings, and Bachmann's E4 is a good subject, with some being allocated to ex-LSWR sheds, whilst the Terriers dealt with the goods trains to Hayling Island and other branches. Similarly the LSWR Adams Radials and Beattie well tanks handled all the goods on their territories.

A fine mixed traffic class which got everywhere was the N Class 2-6-0, available from Bachmann.

Cheers gents, like I said my modelling interest has always been 2000's so 1930s southern is a big departure. I do have a N class, terriers and the Oxford Adams Radial (less said about that model the better) along with a M7, Lord nelson class, H2, schools, T9

If you want a bit of variety, and your layout is based on South London, (not likely if there's an Adams Radial around!) some pre-grouping companies had their own coal depots scattered around, and locos such as the LNWR 0-8-0 (Bachmann) would be used via Clapham Junction, and GNR/LNER J50 (Hornby) and MR/LMS 0-6-0 tanks (Hornby and Bachmann) via Snow Hill tunnel, for deliveries.

Apart from the Terriers and the H2, that is a South Western District stud, and the H2s did see some service over there, although I think that was later.

Cheers mate that'll put in the Bournemouth area which is what I was roughly going for

Donning my pedant's hat .... There probably wasn't anything the Southern - or anyone else - would have considered a 'freight loco' in that period : the term would have been 'goods locomotive' !

They were used on Wimbledon to Blackfriars shuttles in SR days, although that may have ended by 1935 as a result of electrification.

Sorry about that like I said much used to 2000's terminology
