| B4 class 0-4-0 shunting loco designed for the London South Western Railway (LSWR) by William Adams. Twenty were built between 1890 and 1893; another 5 similar locos were built in 1908 and subsequently included in the class. Fourteen B4 class locos were used at Southampton Docks. |

| The extra dome gives this loco away. It's one of 14 0-6-0T Class U.S.A. tank locomotives purchased from the U.S Army in 1946 to work around the dock side sharply curved track. They remained in service until the end of steam on BR and a couple are preserved elsewhere. |

This is loco number 4326, the first of the USA tanks to be used in Southampton docks, its original United States markings can be seen on its flank. A trial of 4326 to assess its suitability, commenced in May 1946 and this photo is dated June 1946. The trial was a success and a further 13 were purchased in 1947.
