    Oh for a photo! Ho-hum..... and what a bloomin' expensive way of converting a pretty minor backwater to standard gauge!

    There's a photo of No 2 as an inspection engine, then named Little John (S&W locos were for many years named after Robin Hood characters), in Parr's "Severn and Wye Railway". It looked a little bit like the Festiniog Railway's "flying bench"!

    How much track was actually laid before they cottoned to this problem?

    Not sure. Certainly the first 23 miles.

    Drummond locos generally did have that "right proportions" look (both D and P Drummond). Their 4-4-0 and 0-6-0 designs are pretty much the epitome of their types (although the later, big boiler ones got a bit brutish). Their tank locos were all handsome, and generally good engines too.

    Those little C14's were lovely little locos. Pity no-one bagged one for preservation. It's not as if one would've taken up a lot of space!

    The 4-2-2-0 'double singles' of Mr Drummond (D) looked rather fine IMO, almost as though he took a leaf from Mr Webb's book of interesting notions and used them to presage the ideas of Mr Thompson by a good few decades into the bargain. Pity their performance evidently failed to match their looks! This image (evidently from the Hawkesworth Collection) is credited to Wikipedia:
