Since it was so prone to derailing as to be unable to be moved from the workshops where it was built, it did no work and was rebuilt to a 2-2-2 tender locomotive in 1884. Dugald Drummond of the London and South Western Railway built a 4-2-4T F9 class combined locomotive and inspection saloon in 1899.
The 4-4-2T is the tank locomotive equivalent of a 4-4-0 American type tender locomotive, but with the frame extended to allow for a fuel bunker behind the cab. This necessitated the addition of a trailing truck to support the additional weight at the rear end of the locomotive. As such, the tank version of the 4-4-2 wheel arrangement appeared ...
Nov 4, 2016 · One of the 999 BR Standards that reached the rails, ‘4MT’ 2‑6‑0... PHIL ATKINS explores the tantalising subject of engines that nearly were: designs that failed to get beyond the drawing board, and new members of existing classes that were never built.
The GWR 2221 class or County Tank was a class of 4-4-2T steam locomotive which was largely a tank engine version of the 3800 County class 4-4-0 tender locomotives. The class were introduced to gradually supersede the 3600 Birdcage 2 – 4 – 2T class.
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.

There were two classes built in large numbers: the 0-4-2 517 class and the slightly larger 2-4-0 Metro Class. The 517s were designed and built at Wolverhampton, and the Metros at Swindon, but both factories would repair and rebuild both classes.

The 4-4-2T arrangement was built by the GCR, NBR, and GNR for suburban passenger services. The LNER did not build any further 4-4-2T tank engines, but it did take over three 4-4-2T locomotives from the Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway (M&GN) in 1937.
