Southern Maunsell Moguls and Tank Engines is a volume in the series of Locomotive Profiles being published by Pen & Sword. It describes the conception, design and construction of the two- and three-cylinder 2-6-0s initially the ‘Ns' constructed at the end of the First World War, many at government initiative by the Woolwich Arsenal and their three-cylinder variants, the ‘N1s'. It also describes in similar fashion the class ‘K' River 2-6-4 tank engines, their riding problems and the decision to convert them as class ‘U' two-cylinder moguls after the disastrous Sevenoaks derailment in 1927. The solitary ‘K1' three-cylinder 2-6-4T was similarly converted as the prototype three-cylinder ‘U1' with new build ‘Us' and ‘U1s' following in the early 1930s.
