The North Eastern Railway (NER) Bogie Tank Passenger (BTP) locomotives were designed by Edward Fletcher in 1873. The locomotives were for hauling passenger services on branch lines. They had an 0-4-4 wheel layout and a total of 124 locomotives were built. They were designated G6 by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER). [1]

Originally, the North Eastern Railway (NER) used its older passenger tender engines for branch line workings. In 1873 Fletcher proposed a new class of "Bogie Tank Passenger" (BTP) 0-4-4T tank locomotive for hauling passenger services on branch lines. The first batch of twelve was delivered by Neilson & Co by June 1874.

The NER Class 290 (LNER Class J77) was a class of 0-6-0T steam locomotives of the North Eastern Railway (NER), rebuilt from an earlier class of 0-4-4 T, the NER Bogie Tank Passenger (BTP, later LNER Class G6).

The North Eastern Railway's (NER) G6 0-4-4WT Bogie Tank Passenger ('BTP') locomotives were sturdy robust engines. With the introduction of the G5 0-4-4T (NER Class O) locomotives during the late 1890s, large numbers of G6 BTP s became surplus to requirements. Some of the G6 BTP s were withdrawn intact, and one locomotive was rebuilt as the X2 2 ...

Like other railways, the NER used cast-off main line tender engines on these duties but many of these were totally unsuited to the task, so a replacement was designed. This came in the form of Edward Fletcher’s ‘Bogie Tank Passenger’ engine, the …

2020年5月3日 · The North Eastern Railway BTP Class Steam Autocars The Grouping. Referring to the RCTS publication “Locomotives of the LNER Part 7” the BTP locos are present under Class G6. According to the R.C.T.S. only forty-six survived until the grouping, dwindling to thirty-six at the close of 1923 with only nineteen of those being auto-fitted.

2016年4月18日 · A LNER G6 Class 0-4-4T on an autotrain from Bishop Auckland to Sunderland comes to a halt at Brandon Colliery station. The G6 is a NER Bogie Tank Passenger (BTP) dating from Fletcher's days during the 1880s, fitted for autotrain work circa 1905 and here working with ex-NER 52ft Bogie Driving Van Composites to Diagram 116.
