- LNER - The London North Eastern Railway Encyclopedia
The London North Eastern Railway (LNER) EncyclopediaThe LNER was one of the " Big Four " Railway Companies formed during the 1923 Grouping Act in Britain As such it barely lasted 25 years, but in this time left a prestigious mark in British railway history Even today, the LNER's Gresley Pacifics are synonymous with speed and luxury The LNER was a railway of contrasts It was the second
- LNER Encyclopedia: The Gresley P2 Passenger 2-8-2 (Mikado) Locomotives
Describes the Gresley P2 Passenger 2-8-2 (Mikado) LocomotivesThe Gresley P2 Passenger 2-8-2 (Mikado) Locomotives The P2s were designed to handle the express passenger traffic on the Edinburgh to Aberdeen main line, which is noted for its steep gradients and tight curves Double-headed Pacifics were prohibited from the line, so the heaviest traffic was usually handled by double-heading two
- LNER Encyclopedia: The U1 Garratt (The Wath Banker)
The U1 Garratt ('The Wath Banker') In 1910, the Great Central Railway initiated the design of a 4-cylinder Garratt This was probably based on a pre-existing 0-8-0 design (LNER class Q4), but over time the design evolved to use a 2-8-0 base (LNER class O4 ROD ) instead This was approved by the LNER in 1924 Initially there were plans for two such engines, although only one was built Between
- LNER Encyclopedia: The LNER 2-6-0 Mogul Locomotives
LNER 2-6-0 Mogul Locomotives The Mogul was a versatile type, superseding the 0-6-0 for freight or substituting for the 4-6-0 as a mixed traffic design The GER introduced 2-6-0s for coal haulage as early as 1878 but had all been withdrawn by 1887, while later US-built freight locos bought by the GCR and GNR as stop-gaps were also short-lived
- LNER Encyclopedia: The 0-6-0 J Class Locomotives of the LNER
The LNER 'J' 0-6-0 Locomotives: J1 - J20 The 0-6-0 wheel arrangement was by far the most numerous used by the LNER It was used mainly for locomotives intended for freight, branch, and shunting work If any single type epitomises the British steam locomotive from the mid-19th Century, it is the inside-cylinder 0-6-0 tender loco
- LNER Encyclopedia: The J70 0-6-0 (GER Class C53) Tram Engines
The J70 0-6-0 (GER Class C53) Tram Engines T W Worsdell designed the four-wheeled Y6 steam trams for for running on or alongside public roads on the Wisbech Upwell Tramway The bulk of this line's traffic was agricultural in nature and hence very seasonal By the early 20th Century, the Y6 s were having trouble handling the peak of the harvest season, so James Holden designed a more
- The LNER A1 and A3 Gresley Pacifics
The LNER A1 and A3 Gresley Pacifics Gresley is most famous for his LNER Pacifics Although they reached their peak with the streamlined A4 s, this famous line of ' racehorses ' began with the A1 Pacifics The first two A1 Pacifics were built in the twilight years of the Great Northern Railway (GNR) and entered service in 1922 The A3 was a modification of the original A1 design, and all of the
- LNER Encyclopedia: The LNER 4-6-2 Pacific Locomotives
Describes the LNER 4-6-2 Pacific LocomotivesLNER 4-6-2 Pacific Locomotives The LNER's Express Pacific designs were probably the most famous of the LNER locomotives Even today, two of these engines (No 4472 Flying Scotsman and No 4468 Mallard) rank amongst the most famous steam locomotives ever built Although the first locos emerged just before the Grouping, it was the LNER that perpetuated
