'''2-WIM''' was the designation given, by [[Southern Railway (Great Britain)|Southern Railway]] (SR), to a 4-strong fleet of [[electric multiple unit]]s, dedicated for use on the ex-LBSCR [[West Croydon to Wimbledon Line]], using the headcode 2. None of these units survived long enough in [[British Rail]] ownership to be allocated a [[TOPS]] class.<br />
<br />
==Construction==<br />
The '''2-WIM''' ('''2'''-car '''Wim'''bledon stock, numbers 1809–1812) units were rebuilt in 1929, from former Trailer First cars, originally used in ex-[[London, Brighton and South Coast Railway|LBSCR]] AC electric '''[[SR Class SL|SL]]''' stock. They were intended for use on the line between Wimbledon and Croydon. Originally these units had some First Class accommodation in the Driving Motor car, but this was later declassified to Third Class only. The units were numbered 1909–1912 before 1936, when those numbers were reused for new '''[[British Rail Class 401|2-BIL]]''' units.<br />
<br />
==Formations==<br />
Initial formations of these units were as follows:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
!Unit Numbers<br />
! {{abbr|DMBT|Driving Motor Brake Third}}<br />
! {{abbr|DTC|Driving Motor Composite}}<br />

|1909–1912 / 1809–1812<br />
|9818–9821<br />
|9951–9954<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Withdrawal==<br />
All four units were withdrawn in 1954, and subsequently scrapped.<br />
