226- 233. A curious LSWR bunch.

226. LSWR 733 The Bug, 4-2-4 which was Drummond's personal transport and could reach 85 mph.. (Locomotive Publishing Co). Its saloon ended up as a garden shed in Swanage.

227. LSWR 737, Class C14 light shunter, built 1907,  sold to the Admiralty.  (Locomotive Publishing Co). Martin Long suggests S14 - will check.

228. 0-4-4 211 with some mysterious gismos (air brakes). Built 1882, Class 02, became W20 Shanklin.

 229. (L)SWR 243. M7 Class 0-4-4. The 1897 conical smoke-box door, to make room for an experimental spark inhibitor. Note also the fashion for SWR abbreviation. The M7 245 is currently at the NRM York.

230. (L)SWR 693  0-6-0 Drummond 700 class, at Nine Elms.

231. LSWR 735, a LB&SCR Stroudley A1 0-6-0T, No. 68 (668) Clapham (built Brighton 1874)sold to LSWR to become 735, here just repainted in 1903. Note the feedwater heater.  Worked at Lyme Regis. (F Moore Railway Photographs)

232. LSWR 101. I think this was the original K14 small dock tank built 1907 before it was given a larger boiler to become the B4 of the same number, named Dinan in 1908. (F Moore Railway Photographs). Martin Long says S14 - will check.

233. The same class but now as a B4 with a larger boiler and consequent rebuilding. It now looks precarious on its 0-4-0 wheelbase. Granville is number 102, built 1893.Now preserved at Bressingham, near Diss, Norfolk.

    There is some mistake with the caption to photo 229, which is clearly an 0-4-4T and not a Beattie Well tank 0-4-2T

      Thanks Jane, a while ago since I did these. You are right of course and many thanks. 243 was a Beattie Well Tank but was put on the duplicate list and replaced by a new M7, which is pictured here. The M7 no. 245 is in the NRM. Stephen
