    I have added a new collection featuring Adams Class 46 Radial tanks (not to be confused with the later 0415 class)

    The construction of the 46 Class was contracted out by the LSWR in order to speed construction and delivery. The contractor selected was Beyer, Peacock and Company, which manufactured 12 4-4-0 tank locomotives in 1879. After only four years in service, the entire class was eventually converted to the 4-4-2 'radial' tank design between 1883 and 1886, following the successful introduction of the '415' Class in 1882 on London's suburban network.

    One locomotive, number 0376 (376), was withdrawn early in February 1914, though was sold to the Brecon and Merthyr Railway in South Wales. This locomotive was re-numbered 44 when in service on this railway, passing to the Great Western Railway on 1 July 1922 who allocated it number 1391.However it was withdrawn later that year before it was renumbered.

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    A few locations:
    2/6: 124 Nine Elms Loco.;
    3/6: 132 Salisbury (95% certain). Looking from the coal stage to the main line;
    4/6: 133 Eastleigh Works scrap line, I reckon;
    5/6: 377 Bournemouth Loco. repair bay. (I have a print of Vesuvius 294 in the same spot.)
