Possibly another reason to run with two was the need to put the set in the siding at Hampton Loade. I'm not sure there would be room to get a third coach in without fouling the running line.

Really great to see these back in use, the variety of carriages at the SVR really are something special. Regards galas, you will never please everyone - especially not railway enthusiasts who are notoriously fickle!

bluetrain liked Jamessquared's post in the thread The Great Northern Railway 0-4-2 Locomotive No. 551.
James Stirling's first proposal for what became the SER O Class 0-6-0 was for an 0-4-2; that was rejected but the design was revised into the 0-6-0 we know. Had the 0-4-2 been built, presumably it would have been very similar to the G&SWR 0-4-2s....
