Shortly after his arrival to the LMS, Stanier started the long scheme of equipping the railway with a modern fleet of steam locomotives, suitable for both current and future traffic needs. One area of the UK’s largest railway company that required new motive power was the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LTSR). To address the need for engines ...

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]
One member of the WT class has been preserved – No 4. This was the last steam locomotive to run in Ireland other than in preservation. It was withdrawn from service in 1971 which was longer that any manged to survive on the mainland of Britain.
