LMS 2-6-4 tank locomotive, designed by William Stanier - 206 engines were built by the LMS between 1935 and 1943, the last of them wasn't withdrawn until 1967, although none survived into preservation. Derby Works built the majority, with one batch coming from the North British Locomotive Works.

The NCC Class WT is a class of 2-6-4T steam locomotives built by the Northern Counties Committee's parent company, the London, Midland and Scottish Railway for service in Northern Ireland.
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.
The first engines of the class were modified 2-6-2 Prairie locomotives which were equipped with two-axle trailing bogies. In 1902, more were placed in service, but built with the 2-6-4 wheel arrangement. The latter were the first known tender locomotives in the world to be built with this wheel arrangement. [1] [2] [3]
