Standard 4MT 2-6-4T No. 80136 at Minehead ten years ago

Standard 4MT 2-6-4T No. 80136 at Minehead
 I believe it was later used for Engineman's Course,
in late 2004.

 
 
It looked quite splendid though a little out of place
on such a GWR line

 
The Standard class 4 tanks built at Brighton have
been the mainstay of many preserved lines

 
Being relatively young engines they should be
with us for some time to come

 
Undoubtedly one of BR's very successful designs
The engine is presently undergoing heavy overhaul
at the Crew. It has been there for some time so we
 can but hope it will soon be back in steam
