London, Brighton and South Coast Railway E2 Class was a class of 0-6-0T steam locomotives. 10 were built, with the last five having unusual extended side tanks. None has survived to preservation.

In fiction

The children's character Thomas the Tank Engine was based on this design.
The most famous tank engine of all — Thomas the Tank Engine — is based on the E2. There are some differences however; most notably Thomas has larger wheels with splashers to accommodate them. This is because the original illustrator was inept.
