Yes ... a good answer. Locomotive numbers from 2-2-0, 2-4-0, 2-6-0, 2-8-0 and you have given me Evening Star, a 2-10-0. |

Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.

Build by the London and South Western Railway class C14 in 1906, 737 only ran until Dec 1917 when it was sold to the Admiralty. Dugald Drummond designed a class of small 2-2-0 tank locomotives, based on the railmotor power units, which could be coupled to one or more carriages to cater for different levels of load . These were specifically equipped for push-pull working. As built, the outside cylinders were situated between the leading and driving wheels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSWR_C14_class |

I've been scratching my head about this one for hours. If Whelan is correct then .... I'm still scratching my head. I think Adams, Rix and Brady started leading me in the wrong direction. |

Same here. Whelan was also a well known player but not a Gooner. Edit: It seems that there was a Norman who briefly played for Arsenal around the time of the First World War. |
