Steam locomotive From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The S&DR George England 2-4-0 were 2-4-0 steam locomotives built by George England for the Somerset and Dorset Railway (S&DR) and its predecessor, the Somerset Central Railway (SCR). There were frequent re-numberings, which explains the presence of two number 11s. [2]
