The LSWR Drummond Class T9 4-4-0s were elegant locomotives. Introduced in 1899, they subsequently became known as the Greyhounds, being able to put on a turn of speed. They were primarily employed on passenger duties in the West Country. No. 30120 has been preserved as part of the National Collection and is on loan to the Swanage Railway. They had all been withdrawn from service by 1963. John Dyer caught up with No. 30313 at Eastleigh works in 1961 and No. 30718 at Exeter St David’s in the previous year.
