The Standard class 4 tank engine

Here the culmination of a very good design chain
Our own BR Std class 4 rests at Belle Isle just
outside Haworth yard
 
 
Here the Fairburn development of the London
Tilbury and Southend Railways tank, the
LMS class 4 tank engine

 
Of course Stanier's original design below which in
 turn was a development of Fowlers 2-6-4 tank

 
This would have been a very powerful engine in
its day having three cylinders
 
Many thanks to D Bailey and Paul Gray for the last
two pictures
