SDRT Bulldog lookalike.

Index > Resources > Spot the Difference
By Russ Garner

During my recent visit to the UK I managed to access a number of S&D photo collections.

One type of loco kept appearing as S&D when in fact it is from the M&GN (Midland & Great Northern Railway). This photograph from the Duncan Chandler Collection, shows a (Bulldog) "class 2" 0-6-0. The difference between the M&GN to our own S&D class can be seen in the steps; the M&GN curl at the ends whilst the S&D remain level.

Three other views that I have depict this for Nos. 63, 65 and 66. Reference material can be seen in "Britain's Joint Lines" by Casserley on page 32.

Yours sincerely,

Russ Garner (SDRT 9457F).
