The Great Northern Railway Class H2 and H3 (classified K1 and K2 by the LNER) was a class of 2-6-0 steam locomotive designed for mixed-traffic work. The class was created as a locomotive which could haul heavier goods trains at speeds of up to 40 mph.

Six men held this post during the existence of the Great Northern Railway. Until 1868 engines were obtained from outside manufacturers, but after this date were increasingly built at the railway's own Doncaster Works, commonly known as the "Plant". Some engines acquired second-hand or from absorbed companies have been omitted from these lists.

A 2-6-0 design was quickly chosen, with the leading pony truck intended to reduce wear on the leading driving wheels and to provide a steadier ride at higher speeds. The resulting GNR Class H2 (LNER Class K1) was also the first design to incorporate Gresley's patented double …

The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway H2 class is a class of 4-4-2 steam locomotives for express passenger work. They were designed when D. E. Marsh was officially Locomotive Superintendent, and were built at Brighton Works in 1911 and 1912.

Gresley Class H2 2-6-0. 10 engines built with 4′-8″ diam. boilers (LNER K1), rebuilt later with 5′-6″ diam. boilers GNR H3 (LNER K2). Gresley Class H3 2-6-0. 65 engines built with 5′-6″ diam. boilers (LNER K2). The majority of the boiler changes took place at Cowlairs instead of Doncaster. These are denoted by the suffix C after the ...

Gresley designed and patented an unusual pony truck that featured swing links on the bolster above the center pin line and the one below. Two points on each bolster connected to the ends of arms above (upper bolster) and below (lower bolster). The system acted to equalize the weight on the two pony truck wheels, stabilizing and smoothing the ride.

The Great Northern Railway Class H2 and H3 (classified K1 and K2 by the LNER) was a class of 2-6-0 steam locomotive designed for mixed-traffic work.

The first atlantic (4-4-2) locomotives in Britain were the twenty-two engines built between 1898 and 1903 by Ivatt for the GNR. These became the C2 class and all were withdrawn between 1935 and 1946 although the original engine 990 Henry Oakley is …

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 The GER introduced 2-6-0s for coal haulage as early as 1878 but had all been withdrawn by 1887, while later US-built freight locos bought by the GCR and GNR as stop-gaps were also short-lived.

2013年9月1日 · In 2000, the Bluebell Railway Atlantic Group was formed to build a replica of ‘Beachy Head’ for use on the extended Bluebell Railway between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead. Since then the group has acquired many parts including a GNR ‘Atlantic’ boiler, tender frames and wheel sets.
