Summary
| Description |
Twenty of these outside-cylinder 4-4-0s were produced to Adams' design by Dübs & Co. and R.W. Hawthorn & Co. in 1876-1877. They were large engines for their time, and were known as ‘Ironclads’ as a result. They were the earliest GER locomotives to be fitted with powerful steam brakes on engine and tender, making them eminently suitable for the faster, heavier goods traffic, especially between Doncaster and London. They were withdrawn in 1894-1897. This photo was taken from an old original photo we came across while helping to clear the house of a deceased friend. I have uploaded it to Flickr in the hope that it might be interesting to steam enthusiasts. |
