    7200 (5275 & 7200)
    Built by the Great Western Railway, originally as 2-8-0T 5275 for use in South Wales hauling heavy coal trains, the locomotive became redundant in this traffic as coal usage became less, and was put in to storage at Swindon. The original building cost was £4,380 which included £933 for the boiler.

    In the years of the depression, coal traffic in South Wales decreased, and the need for short-journey heavy tank locomotives of the 42xx class diminished. At the same time old goods engines of the 2600 'Aberdare' class were becoming worn out. Collett therefore adapted some of the 42xx engines, which were very strong, to give longer range. This was done by extending the length of the frames at the rear by over 4ft, by enlarging the coal bunker and adding a pair of trailing wheels. Altogether 54 engines were thus dealt with.

    7202, the third engine so altered, was adapted from 42xx No. 5277, built in 1926. 7202 entered service in September 1934. She was sent to Ebbw Junction in South Wales, ending her working life at Barry BR depot, from where she was shunted into Woodham Bros. yard for cutting up.

    CN 5288 Steam Locomotive - Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum
    This Locomotive was built by the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1919 for the Canadian National Railroad. It is known as a "Pacific" locomotive, having a 4-6-2 wheel arrangement: four small guide wheels in front, six large driving wheels, and two small trailing wheels under the locomotive cab. The very large driving wheels betray this locomotive as a high-speed passenger engine. Freight locomotives has smaller wheels, which gave them more pulling power for the long freight trains, while passenger engines had large wheels, which gave them less pulling power for the shorter passenger trains, but higher speeds.
