John Chester Craven Page 46 to 91. Craven during his tenure at Brighton was known to have schemed proposed locomotives but details are shadowy but were often tanks for branch lines.
Stroudley 2-4-2 Radial Tank Page 144. Prior to his death in Paris on the 20 December 1889 Stroudley had proposed building a 2-4-2 Radial Tank. Donald Bradley in Part 1 of his history of the locomotives of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway could find no trace of the proposed locomotive.
Stroudley 2-4-2 Express Page 144. Following on from an illustration in a children's book it has been thought by some to have originated in the Brighton Drawing Office. Donald Bradley in Part 1 of his history of the locomotives of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway could find no trace of the proposed locomotive.
R Billinton 0-8-0T Page 162. To have been an eight coupled version of the E6 Class for shunting. The two locomotives were built as 0-6-2Ts instead.

LOCOMOTIVES THAT NEVER WERE Some 20th Century British Projects - Robin Barnes - 1985
R Billinton 4-6-0 of 1913 Chapter 8 Page 22. Prior to his death Billinton was contemplating building a 4-6-0, and indeed started construction. However as the 4-6-4T design proved satisfactory No.327, and 328 was eventuly completed as 4-6-4T class J 4-6-4T in September 1914. Illistration is of No.328 as proposed on the quarry Line.
R E L Maunsell 2-6-2 of 1934 Chapter 28 Page 62. Following on from the Lord Nelson class which at that time suffered from poor steaming, several designs were attempted which did not suit the Civil Engineer. In 1932 Maunsell came up with yet more designs untill the 2-6-2 subject of this entry, but the pony truck leading once again fell foul of the Civil Engineer.Illistration is of No.881 at Surbton.
O V S Bulleid 1 1 D (2-8-2) of 1938 Chapter 38 Page 70. 2-8-2 large air smoothed mixed-traffic engine, which gained agreement, but he change his mind and designed the 'Merchant Navy' class instead.
O V S Bulleid 0-6-0T of 1945 Chapter 38 Page 82. In looks, an outside piston Dock Tank version of the Q1 class. Probably way to expensive and the USA class 0-6-0T was the cheaper alternative.
O V S Bulleid 2C2T (4-6-4T) of 1945 Chapter 39 Page 84. In looks, like a tank version of the air smooth 4-6-2 classes, followed by a cab each end version. However he moved on to produce the Leader class instead.

Martley 'Caliph' Six-Coupled Goods Page 74. Martley due to the cancellation of the above asked permission to purchase two six coupled locomotives in 1867. But the order was cancelled due to the over long waiting for permission and the subsequent purchase of Huz and Buz from Sharp, Stewart & Co.
 
Locomotives of the L. S. W. R. - Part 2. - D. L. Bradley - 1967
Adams Mixed Traffic 4-4-0 Page 34. The Mixed Traffic 4-4-0 locomotives would appear to have been based on the '380' Class but was rejected on account of cost in 1886.
Adams Express 8' 4-2-2 Page 73. The Express 8' 4-2-2 locomotives was based on the contemporary 7' 4-4-0's but was rejected on account of weight on the drivers in 1893.
Drummond Small Wheeled 0-4-4T Page 115. "Drummond considered the building of a pair of Small Wheeled 0-4-4T for use on the Lyme Regis branch. However a cheaper alternative was found in two ex LBSCR Terriers (0-6-0T) with which the branch opened in 1903. "
Drummond 5' 7" 4-6-0 Page 168. Order cancelled by Urie on taking office and replaced by H15 class. The boilers intended for these locomotives used in H15 class.

The Locomotive History of the South Eastern & Chatham Railway - D. L. Bradley - 1980
Wainwright 0-4-4 Tank Page 46. The 0-4-4 Tank locomotive of 1910 was to be a uprated 'H' Class 0-4-4T using the Class 'C' 0-6-0's boiler and cylinders to be known as the 'K' Class. However both this class and the 4-6-2 Tank failed to be built, the 'J' Class being built instead.
Wainwright Atlantic Page 132. The Atlantic locomotive of 1899 was designed for the boat and other express use but was not acceptable to the Civil Engineer the 'D' Class was built instead. In 1903 the design was updated, but again failed to be accepted. Once more in 1906 the drawings were again updated and failed for the final time on axle loading and loading gauge problems.
Wainwright 0-8-0 Goods Page 133. The 0-8-0 Goods locomotives intended to be 'H' Class designed in 1901 as a class of 10 ordered in 1902 was cancelled in favour of Class 'C' 0-6-0's.
Wainwright 0-6-2 Tank Page 133. The 0-6-2 Tank locomotives intended to be a tank version of the 'C' Class, was designed in 1906 but although running numbers were raised no order was placed. In 1910 the design was again looked at but the 'J' Class was built instead.
Wainwright 4-6-0's Page 134. At the time the 4-4-2 was being considered also saw the start of three classes of 4-6-0's being drawn up. The first with outside cylinders in 1906, modified in 1907, updated with inside cylinders and improved firebox design in 1907, and a final design with outside cylinders and a superheater in 1913.
Wainwright 4-4-0 Express Page 135. The 4-4-0 Express locomotives intended to be larger boiler version of the 'E' Class, designed in 1907 but failed on axle loading.
Wainwright 4-6-2 Tank Page 135. The 4-6-2 Tank locomotives intended to be a replacement for the cancelled 0-4-4T 'K' Class, was designed in 1910 but the design was cancelled in 1911 and the 'J' Class was built instead.
Maunsell 4-6-0 Page 103. Maunsell's outside cylinder 4-6-0 design accepted in 1915 including the need for track alterations at two points and two underline bridges to be strengthened. However War pressures on Ashford delayed building commencing, and later events conspired to lead to the E1 4-4-0s being built instead.
Maunsell 2-8-0 Tank Page 136. Maunsell's short term answer for a powerful shunter the 'S' Class 0-6-0ST (rebuilt 'C' Class 0-6-0) was to be a 2-8-0 Tank designed in 1918, but Maunsell was unable to build them due to pressure on Ashford and although redesigned in S. R. days the order was cancelled. The 'Z' Class taking their place in 1929.
Maunsell 0-6-0 Page 10. Maunsell considered rebuilding 30 'C' Class 0-6-0's in 1922, but was unable to build them due to pressure on Ashford and the availability of Woolwich built 'N' Class locomotives in 1924 caused their cancellation.
Wainwright Railcars Page 28. 1903 design for the Isle of Sheppey Light Railway, modified later in the year, followed by an enlarged design in 1904, but to no avail Wainwright turned to Kitson for a solution.
 
Locomotives of the Southern Railway - Part 1 - D. L. Bradley - 1975
Maunsell Eight Coupled Tanks Page 44. Maunsell's 2-8-0 Tank designed of 1918 was redesigned in S. R. days but the order was cancelled. The 'Z' Class taking their place in 1929. Subsequent work on a 2-8-2T version of the 'Z' Class in 1930 for short freight trip locomotives also failed and the 'W' Class designed instead.
Maunsell 2-6-0 Page 54. The 2-6-0 locomotive of 1935 was to be a uprated replacement for the 'Jubilee' Class 0-4-2's using a shortened Class 'N' 2-6-0 boiler but financial constraints and Maunsell's ill health stopped the construction and Bulleid built his 'Q' Class 0-6-0 instead.
Maunsell 3 Cylinder 4-4-0 Page 73. The 4-4-0 of 1928 was intended to be a shortened three cylinder version of the 'Lord Nelson' Class, but was cancelled due to being overweight in favour of Class 'V' 'Schools 4-4-0.
Maunsell 4 Cylinder Pacific Page 74. The 4-6-2 of 1933 was intended to be a four cylinder pacific replacement of the lack lustre 'Lord Nelson' Class, but was cancelled due to being too expensive.
Maunsell Mixed-Traffic 2-6-2 Page 75. The Mixed-Traffic 2-6-2 of 1934 was intended to be used a replacement for 'N' Class and Wainwright 0-6-0's on the Eastern Section heavier duties using a similar boiler to his Pacific. Again the Civil Engineer refused the design.
Maunsell Beyer Garratt 4-6-2 + 2-6-4 Page 76. The Beyer Garratt 4-6-2 + 2-6-4 locomotives of 1935 were intended to overcome axle loading problems of the 1933 Pacific and handle the increasing weights of trains. It was expected they would displace up to seventy odd locomotives. Once again the Civil Engineer refused the design except on the West of England line. Rejection came in October 1934.
Maunsell Heavy Goods 4-8-0 Page 77. The Heavy Goods 4-8-0 locomotives of 1935 were intended to be a replacement for the 'N' Class 2-6-0's on Kent coal trains but provision of extended loops, sidings and block sections pushed up the cost and additional 'S15' Class 4-6-0's were built instead.
Maunsell 2-Cylinder 2-6-2 Tank Page 78. Maunsell's 1936 answer for a medium-size locomotive was a 2-Cylinder 2-6-2 Tank design, but although it fulfilled a need, cancellation came in late 1936 and the Southern had to await the B. R. Standard tank classes.
Maunsell 'Y' Class Six-coupled Goods and Shunting Tank Page 79. A decision was taken in 1927 to replace around 105 six-coupled tank classes. Maunsell came up with a six-coupled Goods and Shunting Tank but after construction commenced the economic down turn caused first delay then cancellation in 1937.
 
Locomotives of the Southern Railway - Part 2 - D. L. Bradley - 1976
Bulleid 3-Cylinder 2-8-2 Page 4. Bulleid's 3-Cylinder 2-8-2 of 1938 attempted to provide at last a decent modern express locomotive. Once again the Civil Engineer vetoed the design on leading truck and weight.
Bulleid 3-Cylinder 4-8-2 Page 4. Bulleid's second try the 3-Cylinder 4-8-2 of 1939 again attempted to provide at last a decent modern express locomotive. Once again the Civil Engineer vetoed the design on long rigid wheelbase and weight.
