BR Standard Class 4 2-6-4T engine no. 80118 at Guisborough railway station, 1950s. On the decision to build the BR standard series of locomotives, a series of class four tank engines was ordered, based on the ex- LMS Fairburn 2-6-4T with some modifications. The lineage of the class could therefore be tracked through the LMS/BR Class 4 2-6-4T ...
The Thompson L1 2-6-4T Tank Locomotives. The Great Northern Railway (GNR) and LNER both had a number of plans for a heavy passenger 2-6-4T tank engine. These plans were cancelled in favour of the N2 0-6-2T, and a 1927 Stratford scheme were cancelled after the Southern Railway experienced a series of 2-6-4T derailments.
1960–1962. Disposition. All scrapped. The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Thompson Class L1 was a class of 2-6-4T steam locomotives designed by Edward Thompson. The prototype no. 9000 was built in 1945, but the remaining 99 were built under British Railways jurisdiction between 1948–1950. The prototype was well received, however the ...

The Great Central Railway (GCR) tried this with their Class 1B 2-6-4T (LNER L1 locomotives). These were also the first 2-6-4T locomotives to enter service in Britain. Robinson based the L1 design on the M1 0-6-4T locomotives. The tank capacity was kept the same, and the trailing bogie was very similar. A boiler similar to that fitted to the D10 ...

The LNER inherited 2-6-4Ts from the Great Central Railway (GCR) and London Transport (ex-Metropolitan Railway), but never built any more of these designs. Gresley is thought to have seriously considered a passenger 2-6-4T design in the 1920s. After serious derailments of similar locomotives on the Southern Railway, he amended the design to that ...
