Summary
Dapol 4S-018-014 OO Gauge SR B4 0-4-0 Tank No.89 'Trouville' Brown
In 1890 Adams ordered 20 powerful four-coupled tank engines from Nine Elms Works, the design being preferred to six-coupled because of the many poorly laid out goods yards and the sharply curved Cattewater and Sutton Harbour lines at Plymouth. When the South Western gained control of Southampton docks in 1892 Adams transferred two engines there which had their cab front and back sheets cut away to aid visibility and were named Jersey and Guernsey.
