    Dugald Drummond's twenty L12 class express passenger 4-4-0s, built in 1904 and 5, were an adaptation of his S11 mixed traffic class for express work, principally on the Bournemouth line -the main differences being 6' 7" driving wheels and a higher-pitched boiler. As with the S11, the frames are those from the earlier T9 class of 1899. They were not, however, an improvement on these earlier locos. Initially rostered to Nine Elms, Bournemouth and Salisbury, the class was later also shedded at Exmouth Junction where they shared the Plymouth Ocean Liner special traffic with the S11 class. The class achieved some notoriety when one of their number, Nº421, was the locomotive involved in the Salisbury accident of 10 June 1906 that effectively put paid to the competition between the GWR and the LSWR for the Ocean Liner traffic.
