==Decline of the 2-2-0== By 1840 the 2-2-0 tender type had largely been superseded by the [[2-2-2]] configuration. However, there are a few examples of later [[tank engines]], thus [[William Bridges Adams]] of the [[Fairfield Locomotive Works]] ({{coord|51.5312|-0.0219|format=dms|display=inline}}) in [[Bow, London|Bow]] supplied a 2-2-0 [[tank locomotive|well tank]] to the [[Società per le Strade Ferrate Romane|Roman Railway]] in 1850.<ref>Hamilton Ellis, ''The pictorial history of railways,'' Hamlyn, 1968, p.58.</ref> Also [[Dugald Drummond]] of the [[London and South Western Railway]] introduced his [[LSWR C14 class|C14 class]] 2-2-0T in 1906, for [[Push–pull train|Auto trains]], but this design was not successful and several of the locomotives were rebuilt to [[0-4-0]].
