S&DJR Sentinel 0-4-0 shunter as BR 47190
Introduced 1929. One of two single speed Sentinel locos for S&DJR (SDJR Nos 101 & 102). They were taken into LMS stock in 1930. The Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway (S&DJR) Sentinel locomotives were two small vertical-boilered, chain-driven steam locomotives for shunting. They were built by Sentinel Waggon Works, who also produced similar designs for industrial customers. The locomotives replaced three older Highbridge-built saddle tanks, 24A, 25A and 45A. They were both used for shunting coal wagons on the colliery branchlines around Radstock. They were built to a reduced loading gauge as they had to pass under the Tyning Arch which had only 10 feet 10 inches ( m) clearance. They were taken into London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) stock in 1930 and renumbered 7190–7191. After nationalisation in 1948, they became 47190–47191 under British Railways. 47191 was withdrawn in 1959 from Bath Green Park and 47190 in 1961 from Bristol (Barrow Road). Both were scrapped.
