London & Indian Dock Company 0-4-0 Locomotives in Great_Britain


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 14 (Locobase 10211)

Data from "Locomotives of the London & India Dock Company", The Locomotive Magazine, Vol VII (January 1902), p. 5. Works number 284.

This small saddle-tank had cast iron wheels without spokes (apparently), an open-sided footplate shelter and generally modest dimensions. Even so, its proportions suggest the ability to handle any likely load.
