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.
Over time they would replace older tank locomotives such as F5 2-4-2Ts, F6 2-4-2Ts, C12 4-4-2Ts, and G5 0-4-4Ts; and were in turn displaced by diesel multiple units and electrification. Withdrawals started in 1960 and were quick. The last L1 was withdrawn in 1962.

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 ...
Although withdrawal came early on, one member of the class, the first to be built, was saved for preservation and now apart of the National Collection at the National Railway MuseumYork. This engine, No.2500, has mostly spent its years in the National Collection as a static display but has been in steam for a small amount of time. There are current...

A number of railways tried to use large tank engines to haul heavy goods and mineral traffic, but these engines tended to lacksufficient braking power and fuel capacity. The Great Central Railway (GCR) tried this with their Class 1B 2-6-4T (LNER L1 locomotives).
2-6-4 tank locomotives were built by SLM in 1913 for use on the Berne-Neuenberg railway. They were still in use at Basel in 1956.
