In 1914, Gresley rebuilt 279 (LNER 3279 and later BR 62808)) with four 15in diameter cylinders using simple expansion. A new front end was fitted. All four cylinders drove the rear coupled axle. A second-hand boiler was fitted. This had a 24-element Robinson superheater fitted, and the boiler pressure was reduced from 175psi to 170psi.

The boiler was equipped with a 24-element Robinson superheater and fitted to the four cylinder simple engine No. 3279 (see below). The GNR directors were not satisfied either, and a second four-cylinder compound (No. 1300) was built in July 1905. This was built by Vulcan Foundry after the GNR approached five companies with broad specifications.

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 …

Silver soldered superheated copper boiler, slide valve cylinders with Walschaerts gear. The engine rolls freely, the chassis runs on air. Although unusual as a model, we've had one other 3279, back in 2006 - it's interesting to compare the two, pictures in the archive here.

2014年2月4日 · I like the look of the Reid Atlantics, and despite having no authentic excuse for running one on my Southern Area LNER layout, a well designed, easily completed and inexpensive kit (that is, still inexpensive after all of the add-ons) would be rather tempting.
