Text Appearing After Image: FOUR-WHEELED COUPLED TANK LOCOMOTIVE ON THE LONDON &amp; SOUTHWESTERN RAILWAY Vol. LXVIII, No. 8]&#160;&#160;&#160;And Railroad Journal.&#160;&#160;&#160;349 [...] Four-Wheeled Coupled Tank Locomotive on the London &amp; Southwestern Railway. — In our issue for April we published drawings and a description of a four-wheeled bogie tank locomotive that is used on the London &amp; Southwestern Railway, which was designed by Mr. W. Adams, Locomotive Superintendent. On another page we publish a full-page engraving giving the side view of this engine, for which engraving we are indebted to the Engineer of London. This engraving gives a very good idea of the appearance of the engine on the road, and, coupled with our description as published in April, is sufficient to enable an engineer to reproduce the engine if he should so desire. We wish, however, to call particular attention to the broad and safe steps which are used and which characterize English locomotive practice in general, and also the arrangement of the driver brakes, in which there is no apparent compensation for variation in the wear of the shoes, in which all are brought to bearing before the breaking resistance really begins.

context_page_description: The LSWR O2 Class is a class of 0-4-4T steam locomotive designed for the London and South Western Railway by William Adams. Sixty were constructed during the late nineteenth century. They were also the last steam engines to work on the Isle of Wight, with the final two being withdrawn in 1967.
context_section_description: Initially outshopped in early LSWR passenger Yellow Ochre/Brown livery with the initials 'LSW' on the water tank sides.
  This was eventually superseded by the later LSWR Passenger Sage Green livery, with black edging and black and white lining. Numbering was in gilt, as was the 'LSWR' lettering on the water tank side.
  Only a solitary mainland locomotive ever carried a name in service: Number 185 Alexandra for a short period between 1890 and 1896.
