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.
