BP 679 for Sweden

The precursor to the LSWR 282 Ilfracombe Goods?

 

For other Swedish B Ps, in extraordinary resolution and without Alamy plastered all over them:

the single of 1858, o/s 2-4-0, 1859 and, probably of wider interest, 0-4-2 and 0-6-0, both of 1875. I think these make a pretty strong case that a perfectly plausible/proto-literate 'generic' BP would be possible even if it didn't ape one particular design.

 

On which, the 0-6-0 and Swedish ST sibling look to be very much of a family with the five 0-6-0STs which went to the Cork, Bandon and South Coast Railway in the 1860s (serving until the 1940s) and the LSWR 330 class, also of 1875, which kept going until 1924-33 under Southern, and 1948 with the Kent and East Sussex.

 

PS: A couple higher-res images of the SJ F Class Snapphanen
