harry wainwright

harry smith wainwright -lrb- 1864 -- 1925 -rrb- was the locomotive , carriage and wagon superintendent of the south eastern and chatham railway from 1899 to 1913 .
he is best known for a series of simple but competent locomotives produced under his direction at the company 's ashford railway works in the early years of the twentieth century .
many of these survived in service until the end of steam traction in britain in 1968 , and are regarded as some of the most elegant designs of the period .
