Description
A little memento from the late lamented Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway, which operated its very own fleet of locomotives to compliment the locomotives provided by the London Midland & Scottish Railway as well as the Southern Railway. These included a fleet of 2-8-0 locomotives designed along similar principals to that of LMS goods engines.

Today two of these locomotives continue to exist, and one is seen here in the form of Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway 7F number 88, working a train from Minehead to Bishops Lydeard at Stogumber.

The other preserved locomotive is classmate 7F number 89, which now resides at the Midland Railway in Butterley.
