Within a year of becoming the Great Central Railway's (GCR) Locomotive Engineer, Robinson initiated an extensive programme of locomotive construction and modernisation. The programme started with his Class 9J 0-6-0 (LNER J11) and Class 11B 4-4-0 in 1901. Set against this programme of modernisation, the 11B locomotives LNER ENCYCLOPEDIA: THE LNER ROBINSON D11 'IMPROVED The Robinson Class D11 (GCR Class 11F) 'Improved Director' 4-4-0 Locomotives. Robinson's D10 'Director (GCR Class 11E) locomotives quickly proved to be very successful, and a second batch was ordered in March 1916. This order was cancelled with World War 1 on-going. In 1917, Robinson built his B3 'Lord Faringdon' 4-6-0 locomotives.

THE PARKER F1 (GCR CLASS 3) 2-4-2T LOCOMOTIVES Therefore between 1889 and 1893, Parker built the GCR Class 3 2-4-2T (LNER Class F1) tank locomotives to replace the aging 2-4-0s. These had radial axleboxes, Joy valve gear, and a boiler resembling that of the GCR 4-4-0 '561' Class (LNER D7) and the 0-6-2T N4.

LNER ENCYCLOPEDIA: THE MIDLAND AND GREAT NORTHERN JOINT The passenger locomotive stock consisted of seven small 4-4-0 side-tank engines built by Hudswell, Clarke & Co., of Leeds, between 1878 and 1881. In spite of their small size they were well-built, excellent little engines. They worked passenger trains between Lynn and Fakenham, sometimes running two double trips per day betweenYarmouth and
LNER ENCYCLOPEDIA: THE ROBINSON D10 'DIRECTOR' 4-4-0S The Robinson Class D10 (GCR Class 11E) 'Directors' 4-4-0 Locomotives. After realising that his 11B (LNER D9) locomotives were too small for the Great Central Railway's (GCR) growing requirements, Robinson built his B1 4-6-0 and C4 4-4-2 locomotives as a comparative test. The C4 proved successful and was built in larger numbers. When further engines were required, Robinson reverted back to the LNER ENCYCLOPEDIA: THE LNER A1 AND A3 GRESLEY PACIFICS Gresley is most famous for his LNER Pacifics. Although they reached their peak with the streamlined A4 s, this famous line of ' racehorses ' began with the A1 Pacifics. The first two A1 Pacifics were built in the twilight years of the Great Northern Railway (GNR) and entered service in 1922. The A3 was a modification of the original A1 design LNER ENCYCLOPEDIA: THE GRESLEY J50 AND J51 (GNR J23) 0-6 The Gresley J50 & J51 (GNR J23) 0-6-0T Locomotives. Gresley designed the Great Northern Railway (GNR) Class J23 (LNER J51) 0-6-0T in 1913 for working the steeply graded lines in the West Riding. Designed to replace the J3, J4, and J7 tender locomotives, an 18.5in cylinder diameter was chosen to produce a greater power output. Also, as most of the work involved shunting and short trip workings LNER ENCYCLOPEDIA: THE J70 0-6-0 (GER CLASS C53) TRAM ENGINES The J70 0-6-0 (GER Class C53) Tram Engines. T.W. Worsdell designed the four-wheeled Y6 steam trams for for running on or alongside public roads on the Wisbech & Upwell Tramway.The bulk of this line's traffic was agricultural in nature and hence very seasonal. By the early 20th Century, the Y6s were having trouble handling the peak of the harvest season, so James Holden designed a more powerful LNER ENCYCLOPEDIA: THE RAVEN C7 (NER CLASS Z) 4-4-2 ATLANTICS The Raven C7 (NER Class Z) 4-4-2 Atlantics. Raven was a firm believer in the advantages of three cylinder locomotives such as smoother toque, easier blast on the fire, and better balanced rotating parts. With the success of Worsdell's T1 4-8-0T and his A7 4-6-0T locomotives with three cylinder propulsion, Raven was ready to build a three cylinder express passenger locomotive.

LNER ENCYCLOPEDIA: THE LNER 2-4-2 LOCOMOTIVES The LNER 2-4-2 Locomotives. The 2-4-2T was adopted by many companies for local passenger work (and in at least one case for semi-fast duties). The LNER inherited 341 at Grouping (1923), and did not buildany of its own.
LNER ENCYCLOPEDIA: THE LNER STANIER O6 (8F) 2-8-0S The Stanier O6 (8F) 2-8-0s. At the outbreak of World War 2, the War Department (WD) initiated the transfer of 300 O4 (ex-ROD) 2-8-0s from the LNER. By November 1939, the WD had chosen Stanier's LMS (London Midland Scotland) '8F' 2-8-0 design as its standard goods locomotive, and the transfer order was cancelled. All of the 'Big Four' companies constructed 8Fs for the WD, including the LNER who LNER ENCYCLOPEDIA: THE LNER GRESLEY O2 2-8-0 LOCOMOTIVES The Gresley O2 2-8-0 Locomotives. The O2 was a three cylinder development of Gresley's O1 2-8-0 mineral locomotive, and was the first design to use his conjugated valve gear. In 1915, Gresley applied for patent rights for a conjugated valve gear using either rocking shafts or motion levers to control the valves on the central cylinder on a three cylinder locomotive. LNER ENCYCLOPEDIA: THE THOMPSON B1 4-6-0 'ANTELOPE' CLASS The Thompson B1 4-6-0 "Antelope" Class. With Gresley's death in 1941, Thompson became the LNER's Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME), and quickly initiated a plan of locomotive standardisation and modernisation. This was in stark contrast to Gresley's policy of creating new locomotive types only when required. This suited the LNER's economic restraints, but did lead to many different types of LNER ENCYCLOPEDIA: THE LNER REID D30 'SUPERHEATED SCOTT The Reid D30 'Superheated Scott' (NBR Class J) 4-4-0 Locomotives.

With the retirement of Thompson and his succession by Peppercorn, it was decided that the remaining fifteen A2/3 locomotives which had been ordered, should be built to a modified design. In fact, the Chief Draughtsman had already started to design a modified A2/3 in 1946, without the authorisation of Thompson. The design continued to be amended through 1946 and 1947 LNER ENCYCLOPEDIA: THE W.WORSDELL J27 (NER CLASS P3) 0-6-0 The W.Worsdell J27 (NER Class P3) 0-6-0 Locomotives. Wilson Worsdell's Class P3 (LNER J27) was a relatively minor modification of the existing North Eastern Railway's (NER) Class P2 (LNER J26).The most significant change was a deeper firebox with shallower sloping firegrate.
THE PARKER F1 (GCR CLASS 3) 2-4-2T LOCOMOTIVES The Parker F1 (GCR Class 3) 2-4-2T Locomotives. During the 1880s, the local services of the Great Central Railway (GCR) in the Manchester area, were being operated by old 2-4-0 tender locomotives. THE GRESLEY W1 4-6-4 "HUSH-HUSH" LOCOMOTIVE The Gresley W1 4-6-4 "Hush-Hush" Locomotive. The experimental Gresley W1 No. 10000 "Hush-Hush" was the only 4-6-4 tender locomotive to run in Britain. It included a number of experimental features including a marine type water-tube boiler working at 450psi. LNER ENCYCLOPEDIA: THE CRUDEN BAY TRAMWAY The Cruden Bay Tramway. The Great North of Scotland Railway (GNSR) bought its first hotel in 1891. This was the Palace Hotel at Aberdeen. After an extensive modernisation programme that included electricity and lifts, this venture quickly proved to be a great financialsuccess.

THE LONDON & NORTH EASTERN RAILWAYENCYCLOPEDIA
The LNER was one of the "BIG FOUR" Railway Companies formed during the 1923 Grouping Act in Britain. As such it barely lasted 25 years, but in this time left a prestigious mark in British railway history. Even today, the LNER's Gresley Pacifics are synonymous with speed andluxury.
The LNER was a railway of contrasts. It was the second largest "Big Four" company in terms of route miles, but was also the poorest. It was famous for its prestigious high speed trains, but gained a lot of its income from the coal fields of North East England. Routes varied from the flat agricultural land of East Anglia, to the severe curves and gradients of Scotland and the Pennines. _THIS SITE IS AN ENTHUSIAST SITE FOR THE HISTORIC COMPANY.
