The biggest roller in Sandown (pjs,1330)

            Peter was standing at Sandown (Station for Lake)  on a gloomy day when 14 rolled into the platform. The gloom is matched by the look on the face of the man on the right, he is in charge of an outsized garden roller. On the opposite platform one of the posters is for Nine Elms paint, rather apt given that the loco was built at Nine Elms.. Between the buildings is a Penny-in-the-slot weighing machine, the dial casting in a pleasing heart shape, perhaps to remind users that being overweight is bad for the heart. The signal box towers over the scene, what splendid views there must be from up there.
Peering out of the loco cab on the left is the driver, the shirt sleeved fireman can just be seen on the right.
W14, Fishbourne, was built at Nine Elms Works in December 1889, it was an Adams 02 0-4-4T, it entered service with the L&SWR as 178, under the Southern Railway it became E178 in August 1924 and 178 in November 1932. In May 1936 it becan a career on the IOW as W31. The loco was withdrawn in December 1966.
