West Somerset Railway S&D No 88 and LMS 44422

This was just after it's overhaul ten years ago
 
 
Those big cylinders which made such a difference
hauling heavy trains up the Mendips

 
Designed and built at Derby for S&D

 
You can see the Derby lineage when comparing 88
with the Derby 4f 44422. Though of course no
comparison in power

 
Midland 4F 44422 was at Minehead with the S&D
engine.

 
Of course the 4F had smaller inside cylinders

 
However it could punch well above its weight
