GNR 251 was built at Doncaster in December 1902 as the first example of the C1 class. It was fitted with a superheated boiler in August 1918 and in December 1923 the valve gear was changed to piston valves. The frames and cylinders are believed to have come from 1438 which retained this feature up to withdrawal in August 1947.

The preserved 251 at Bressingham. The Great Northern Railway (GNR) Class C1 is a type of 4-4-2 steam locomotive. One, ex GNR 251 (later LNER 3251 in 1924, and LNER 2800 in 1946), survives in preservation. Much like their small boiler cousins, they were capable of reaching speeds of up to 90 mph (145 km/h).

This noteworthy engine, No. 251, which is illustrated in Fig. 108, was the prototype of the standard G.N. express engine of to-day, and has so far justified its existence that there are now no fewer than 81 of the class.

目前，只有一台C1型机车，即前GNR 251，后来的LNER 2800，被保存下来，并恢复到GNR的涂装 。 这台机车甚至在1953年的“Plant Centenarian”行程中运行了两个星期五，庆祝Doncaster工厂的100周年 。 油画 No.251号.

Ivatt introduced the 4-4-2 Atlantic type to Britain with his 'Klondike' (LNER C2) type in 1898. In December 1902, he built No. 251 by adapting the design and increasing the boiler diameter from 4ft 8in to 5ft 6in. The GNR classified both types as C1, but the LNER classified the large boiler variation as C1 and the small boiler variation as C2.

Steam locomotive and tender, Great Northern Railway, 4-4-2 No 251, designed by H A Ivatt, built at Doncaster in 1902, withdrawn in 1947. The Great Northern Railway’s (GNR) 94 large boiler Class C1 Atlantics were designed by Henry Ivatt and were built between 1902-1910. They would haul express trains between London King’s Cross and York.

"In 1866 ten powerful locomotives, of the four-coupled passenger class, were delivered to the railway by Messrs. Sharp, Stewart & Co., which received the Company's Nos., 251 to 260 (makers' Nos. 1667 to 1676). These were in many respects similar in detail to the large single-wheel engines built by the…
