LMS Fowler Dock Tank
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Fowler Dock Tank was a 0-6-0T steam locomotive. Designed for shunting in docks, it had a short wheelbase in order for it to negotiate curves.
10 were built in 1928 by Derby Works to a design by Henry Fowler. They incorporated outside cylinders. They were initially numbered 11270-9, renumbered under the LMS 1933 renumbering scheme to 7100-9, and renumbered again in 1939 to 7160-9. Despite their small number, the LMS considered them standard locomotives. After nationalisation in 1948, BR added 40000 to their numbers making them 47160-9.
Withdrawals took place between 1959 and 1964. None has survived to preservation.
However there are plans to build 30 replicas of LMS Fowler Dock Tank locomotives called Numbers 47170 To 47199 for steam preservation in a fewer years to come.
