The LSWR 273 class was a class of double framed 0-6-0 steam locomotives designed by William George Beattie for the London and South Western Railway (LSWR). Twelve locomotives were built between 1872 and 1873.
Numbering The twelve locomotives were numbered in two blocks of 6 locomotives each. Between 1898 and 1900, all were placed on the duplicate list, usually by prefixing the number with a "0". Two were scrapped in 1906, but the remainder were renumbered again in 1914–1917 before four more were retired prior to the 1923 grouping, leaving six to pass into Southern Railway ownership on 1 January 1923, before they too were withdrawn and scrapped. + Table of locomotives FirstNumber BP WorksNumber Datebuilt Daterebuilt Dateduplicated Datewithdrawn Notes 273 1163 Renumbered 273A in Sep 1917 274 1164 Renumbered 0229 in Jan 1914 275 1165 276 1166 277 1167 Renumbered 277A in Oct 1917 278 1168 Renumbered 278A in Sep 1914 285 1269 Renumbered 286A in Nov 1917 286 1270 Renumbered 286A in Aug 1917 287 1271 Renumbered 287A in Nov 1917 288 1272 Renumbered 288A in Dec 1917 289 1273 Renumbered 289A in Oct 1917 290 1274 Renumbered 351 in Dec 1899;renumbered 0351 in Jun 1900;renumbered 351A in Jun 1917
