Lord Nelson and friends...

34. The top two show Lord Nelson with Gladstone,  at an open day at Nine Elms in 1927. LB&SCR class B1 214 Gladstone,the first of this class, has even then been given a perfect museum livery thanks to the Stephenson Locomotive Society in 1927 (it is now in the NRM). There is a front view and a side view. DV says: not at Eastleigh but Nine Elms with the remains of the old coal stage in the background. The two engines were exhibited at Waterloo on 14 May 1927.

35.

36. Next,  Isle of Wight 02 tank no. W22 heading for Ventnor from Sandown. Peter of SEmG notes: It is reproduced in ‘Isle of Wight Album’ (Ian Allan, 1967) and is credited to H. Gordon Tidey. The coaches are ex-North London Railway four-wheelers."

Picture removed for copyright reasons.

37. And now back on the main Southampton to Portsmouth line:
LSWR T7  720 (missing from 1944 ABC). The smoke blinkers are unusual. Peter at SEmG comments: " Class T7 was a solitary loco and the first of Drummond's double singles, the driving wheels were not coupled, there were 4 cylinders, the inside pair driving the leading pair od driving wheels and the outside pair the trailing pair.  A second attempt at this arrangement gave rise to the E10 class of 5 locos which had larger boilers."

38. LSWR H15  no. (E)491. Bournemouth line.

39. LSWR Drummond D15 no (E)470 before superheating. DV says: Bournemouth line train - 470 had been superheated in 1917 - note extended smokebox.
