- LNER Encyclopedia: The U1 Garratt (The Wath Banker)
The frames were laid on 1st June 1925, and was delivered to the LNER on the 21st, ready to be displayed in shop grey at the Stockton Darlington Centenary celebrations on 1st July 1925 After the celebrations it was painted in black, and entered service in August 1925 No 2395 was the only Garratt ever to serve with the LNER
- LNER 2-6-0 Mogul Locomotives - London and North Eastern Railway
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for the 4-6-0 as a mixed traffic design The GER introduced 2-6-0s for coal haulage as early as 1878 but had all been withdrawn by 1887, while later US-built freight locos bought by the GCR and GNR as stop-gaps were also short-lived
- The LNER A1 and A3 Gresley Pacifics - London and North Eastern Railway
Raven had developed a Pacific (LNER A2) for the North Eastern Railway (NER) at the same time So in 1923, the newly-formed LNER conducted a series of tests comparing these two new designs The Raven A2 No 2400 had no problem in producing enough steam, but A1 No 1472's boiler pressure varied during the tests No 1472 consumed notably less
- LNER Encyclopedia: The Experimental Kitson-Still Steam Diesel Hybrid . . .
The LNER was clearly interested, and even exhibited it at an LNER rolling stock exhibition at Leeds in April 1928 Later in 1928, it successfully hauled a 400 ton goods train from Darlington to Starbeck and back It managed to restart this load on a 1 in 33 gradient from a signal stop For later trials, the LNER loaned their dynamometer car
- The Thompson K1 1 and Peppercorn K1 2-6-0 Moguls - London and North . . .
Used throughout the former LNER network, the K1s proved to be very versatile and worked everything from the lighter coal trains through to express passenger services Ahead of withdrawals, the K1s started to move away from the GE (Great Eastern) Region in 1958, and by the end of 1961 only eight remained at March
- The Gresley K3 and Thompson K5 2-6-0 Moguls - London and North Eastern . . .
Describes the LNER Gresley K3 and Thompson K5 2-6-0 Moguls The Gresley K3 and Thompson K5 2-6-0 Moguls The concept for the K3 2-6-0 began in August 1917 when Gresley started to consider a new express goods engine for the Great Northern Railway (GNR) based on his K2 2-6-0 (GNR Class H3), but with a higher boiler pressure of 180psi and 20in or 20 5in diameter cylinders with a 28in stroke
- The LNER 2-6-2 Prairies - London and North Eastern Railway
The LNER 2-6-2 Prairies Apart from a solitary experimental Midland Railway locomotive locomotive built in 1908, no 2-6-2 tender locomotives ran in Britain until 1936 when Gresley adopted the type in preference to the 4-6-0 for a powerful three-cylinder mixed traffic design
- LNER Encyclopedia: The LNER Gresley O2 2-8-0 Locomotives
In order to fit the LNER's 13ft 0 5in Composite Loading Gauge these engines were fitted with a lower profile cab, a re-positioned whistle, and a shorter chimney These were classified as O2 2 Construction of a further fifty O2s was considered in 1924, but this was cancelled due to the availability of large quantities of war surplus O4 ROD
