The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Class K1 is a type of 2-6-0 (mogul) steam locomotive designed by Edward Thompson. Thompson preferred a simple two-cylinder design instead of his predecessor Nigel Gresley 's three-cylinder one.

Used throughout the former LNER network, the K1s proved to be very versatile and worked everything from the lighter coal trains through to express passenger services.

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 swing link pony truck design.

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.

The North Eastern Railway (NER) Class K classified as Class Y8 by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) is a class of 0-4-0T steam locomotives designed for shunting.

The Peppercorn K1s proved to be useful and versatile engines. They worked extensively over ex-LNER territory but were chiefly associated with North East England and, following in the footsteps of their predecessors the K4s, the West Highland Line. All were delivered to the Eastfield shed where they were run-in before being allocated further south.

K1 62005 was designed by the London and North Eastern Railway, built by the North British Locomotive Company in their Queen’s Park Works, Glasgow as NBL no 26609 and delivered to the fledgling British Railways in June 1949. 62005, like all of the class went for running in to Eastfield shed, Glasgow.

2015年7月31日 · Fully operable tender controls including a shovel... for shovelling! So that about wraps it up for details of the Peppercorn K1. It's been a real delight to create and we've also had a lot of enjoyment from writing the scenarios for it because the Weardale & Teesdale Route is such a treat to drive on.
