The C1 Class, as it was known under both GNR & LNER classifications, was designed by Henry Ivatt as an enlarged version of what became the LNER C2 Class. The principle of the design was to produce a powerful, free-steaming engine to haul the …

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.

At the beginning of 1905 Mr. Ivatt made a notable departure by the introduction of a four-cylinder compound locomotive of the Atlantic type. In general design it is of the ” 251 ” type, having the same dimensions of boiler and wheels as that class.

GNR Class C1 may refer to either of the following classes of railway locomotive designed for the Great Northern Railway by Henry Ivatt: GNR Class C1 (large boiler), 94 locomotives introduced from 1902, later LNER Class C1; GNR Class C1 (small boiler), 22 locomotives introduced from 1898, later LNER Class C2

The Great Northern Railway (GNR) Small Boiler Class C1 is a class of steam locomotive, the first 4-4-2 or Atlantic type in Great Britain. They were designed by Henry Ivatt in 1897. In total 22 were built between 1898 and 1903 at Doncaster Works .

Ivatt went to the extent of walking the 156 miles between Kings Cross and Doncaster which confirmed his view about the poor state of the track which further convinced him of the need to reduce the axle load on future engines which led to the design for first British 4-4-2 atlantic locomotive (990 Henry Oakley).
