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 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 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 Gresley A4 Pacifics The LNER's Express Pacific designs were probably the most famous of the LNER locomotives And of these Pacifics, the A4 is probably the most famous of all Its distinctive streamlined casing has come to be a symbol of 1930s luxury and fascination with speed Even today, it is an A4 which holds the world speed record for a steam locomotive
LNER Encyclopedia: The Raven A2 Pacifics Describes the Raven A2 PacificsThe Raven A2 Pacifics The North Eastern Railway's (NER) development of express passenger locomotives was held up by World War 1, but resumed in 1921 with development of the very successful Raven Atlantic C7 Greater power and acceleration was required for the increasing loads on the East Coast Main Line, and hence Raven developed the C7 into a Pacific
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 Ivatt Gresley J6 (GNR Class J22) 0-6-0 Locomotives The Ivatt Gresley J6 (GNR Class J22) 0-6-0 Locomotives The Great Northern Railway (GNR) had begun superheating experiments in 1908, and by 1911 had developed enough experience to justify the construction of standard superheated boilers These boilers would become LNER Diagram 7, and were initially used on fifteen goods locomotives intended to replace older "Standard Goods" engines (LNER J4
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 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 4-6-0 Locomotives of the LNER LNER 4-6-0 Locomotives Originally introduced to Britain in 1894 for freight haulage, 4-6-0 locomotives ("Ten-Wheelers" in American railroad jargon) became the predominant type for express and mixed traffic duties By 1948 4-6-0s in Britain were outnumbered only by 0-6-0s and 0-6-0Ts, and British Railways built more 4-6-0s than any other type
