Description Another one from my April 2012 trip to Cornwall. Southern class 'O2' 0-4-4T No. W24 'Calbourne' in British Railways livery pilots LSWR well-tank No. 30587 at Bodmin Parkway. Pity there wasn't another O2 then it would have looked as if it was on the Island.

I actually really like the air tank's position.

The name plate being red also complements the BR lined black well.

Yes they are pretty little engines - shame there is only one left.

I like 0-4-4ts in general, people over here don't seem to understand their point, but I like the idea of running in reverse and staying stable!

Yeah they are quite good really although the Western never favoured them.

Yeah, probably because they were more used to 0-4-2s.

I've always wondered how these would ride!

Well I worked on an M7 once and it was not too bad.

Ah right!  I thought they would waddle down the line!
