Looks very similar to the bottom loco on a drawing on the mess room wall in the new shed at Romney?




Before anybody ask questions, I know nothing, other than where the drawing is pinned up

Forgive me for being dumb but is the 4-8-4 in the top of the picture the reason they extended Hythe turntable from 30' to 40'. I seem to remember reading somewhere that Greenly had designed a 4-8-4 but if it was built the turntable would need to be bigger, the turntable being extended but the 4-8-4 sadlt not materialising. If anyone knows what actually happened i will quite happily stand corrected.

Cheers,
Michael
