Oct 7, 2018 · Compact but fast, the 3-Cylindered 2-6-4 Tanks are some of the first engines designed by William Stanier for the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS).
The LMS Stanier Class 4P 3-Cylinder 2-6-4T is a class of steam locomotives designed for work over the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway route. All 37 were built in 1934 at Derby Works and were numbered 2500–2536.
One of the most successful of these Riddles designs were the Class 4, 2-6-4 Tank locomotives of which 155 were built at Brighton and Derby from 1951 to 1957. The ancestry of these engines is easily traced back to the Class Four 2-6-4T designs of both Stanier and Fairburn on the London Midland & Scottish Railway.

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.
In 2017 the RPSI Board approved for work to proceed on a second NCC “G8AS” boiler - the type suitable for NCC 2-6-4 tank engine No.4. Locomotive No.4 has proved to be our most versatile engine, well living up to the nickname ‘jeep’ applied to the 18 strong class.
