'I'm off again for my next duty' - Bishops Lydiard, Somerset
Back in time again to.....Saturday 5th August 2017, where we see one of the fine examples of steam power used on the former Somerset and Dorset Railway the 4F 0-6-0 tender locomotive.
5 such engines were specifically designed by Henry Fowler in 1922 when Chief Mechanical Engineer for the Midland Railway. In 1930, they were taken into the London Midland and Scottish Railway's stock under their later joint management of the railway.
Pictured here at Bishops Lydiard on the West Somerset Railway, is No.44422, a later built 1924 version, reversing around its coaches before its return trip to Minehead.
