The LNER 2-8-0 Locomotives Of the four LNER constituents that adopted the 0-8-0, only the GCR and GNR switched to 2-8-0s - significantly, both companies with long-distance coal traffic. Robinson launched his design for the GCR in 1911, while Gresley 's two-cylinder 1913 design on the GNR was followed by a three-cylinder version five years later.

The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Class O4 initially consisted of the 131 ex- Great Central Railway (GCR) Class 8K 2-8-0 steam locomotives acquired on grouping in 1923. The engines were designed by John G. Robinson and built at …

Initially designed in 1911 to haul coal traffic on the Great Central Railway (GCR) to the new docks at Immingham, the GCR 8K would become one of the most successful British steam locomotive designs of the 20th Century. Robinson is also on record with the …

The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Thompson Class O1 was a class of 2-8-0 steam locomotive designed by Edward Thompson for freight work. None have survived to preservation.

The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) produced several classes of locomotive, mostly to the designs of Nigel Gresley, characterised by a three-cylinder layout with a parallel boiler and round-topped firebox. It produced the most famous locomotive of its day, 4468 'Mallard', the holder of the world steam locomotive speed record.

Substantial rebuilds of the LNER O4s with a new boiler, new cylinders driven by Walschaerts gear, and a raised running board. These had first entered service as GCR or War Department Consolidations in World War I.

2004年9月26日 · Designed by Nigel Gresley for the mineral (e.g. coal) trains in the early days of his superintendency. They were rated at 80 wagons aggregating a trailing load of 1,300 tons (up from 975 tons in 60 wagons) and running between Peterborough and the …

The LNER 0-8-0 Locomotives The 0-8-0 was an obvious answer to increasing loads that could not be hauled by 0-6-0 s without double-heading. Early examples on the London North Western Railway (LNWR) were three- or four-cylinder compounds, but it was the simple two-cylinder version that became established.

The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Class O6 was a class of 2-8-0 steam locomotives based on the Stanier Class 8F type from the LMS during World War 2 in Europe in the 1940’s .

The Thompson O1 2-8-0 Locomotives Thompson became the LNER's CME in 1941, and quickly initiated a programme of standardisation. One of Thompson 's first standardised designs was for a heavy goods 2-8-0 to replace all of the existing 2-8-0s, 0-8-0 s, and a variety of 0-6-0 s including the J19 s, J20 s, J38 s, and J39 s.
