The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Class O4 initially consisted of the 131 ex- Great Central Railway (GCR) Class 8K 2-8-0 steam locomotives acquired on grouping in 1923. The engines were designed by John G. Robinson and built at …

Initially designed in 1911 to haul coal traffic on the Great Central Railway (GCR) to the new docks at Immingham, the GCR 8K would become one of the most successful British steam locomotive designs of the 20th Century. Robinson is also on record with the …

The LNER 2-8-0 Locomotives Of the four LNER constituents that adopted the 0-8-0, only the GCR and GNR switched to 2-8-0s - significantly, both companies with long-distance coal traffic. Robinson launched his design for the GCR in 1911, while Gresley 's two-cylinder 1913 design on the GNR was followed by a three-cylinder version five years later.

The O4 class were used to haul heavy freight trains throughout the LNER system. 329 engines remained in operation at 1 January 1948. In 1944, 58 O4s were rebuilt with 100A boiler, Walschaerts valve gear and new cylinders at Gorton Works, then classified O1. The surviving 329 Class O4 locomotives passed to BR on 1 January 1948.

When the LNER was created in 1923, a new classification scheme was drawn up that could accommodate all the inherited steam locomotives and future new classes, and provide useful information about the features of a given class.

The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) produced several classes of locomotive, mostly to the designs of Nigel Gresley, characterised by a three-cylinder layout with a parallel boiler and round-topped firebox. It produced the most famous locomotive of its day, 4468 'Mallard', the holder of the world steam locomotive speed record.
