Two classes of 4-8-0 tank locomotives were used in the United Kingdom, both built for hump shunting. NER Class X, LNER Class T1. Ten were built by the North Eastern Railway (NER) in 1909 and 1910, designated the NER Class X, later the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Class T1. The LNER added a further five Class T1 locomotives in 1925.
BR: 30950–30957. Withdrawn. 1962. Disposition. All scrapped. The SR Z class was an 0-8-0T 3-cylinder tank engine designed by Richard Maunsell and intended for heavy shunting on the Southern Railway, the first eight entering into service in 1929. It was a successful design and would have been built in greater numbers, but an order for a ...
The LSWR G16 class was a class of steam tank locomotives with a 4-8-0T wheel arrangement. It was designed by Robert Urie and introduced in 1921 specifically for heavy shunting over humps at Feltham marshalling yard, on the London and South Western Railway (LSWR). They were based upon Urie's previous S15 class freight design, and apart from ...
A fourth locomotive was added at Table Bay Harbour in 1879, a 0-4-0 well-tank engine, also built by Fletcher, Jennings. [4] [5] Three 0-4-0 saddle-tank locomotives entered breakwater construction service in Table Bay Harbour, two in 1881 and one more in 1893, built by Black, Hawthorn & Co. [4] [8] [9]
0-8-4T. GCR Class 8H 69901 at Dunford Bridge on the Woodhead line in 1950. Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 0-8-4 represents the wheel arrangement of no leading wheels, eight powered and coupled driving wheels on four axles, and four trailing wheels on two axles (usually in a trailing bogie).

They were known as the "Brighton Baltics", Baltic being the European name for the 4-6-4 wheel arrangement. Seven examples were built between April 1914 and April 1922 and they were used for express ...
The wheelbase was 30 ft 0 in (9.14 m). It was the only 4-2-4T locomotive built by the Great Western Railway (though not the only such tank locomotive operated by the Great Western, which inherited some from the Bristol and Exeter Railway).
Many 4-8-2 locomotives were therefore built for dual service. [citation needed] About 2,200 Mountain type locomotives were built for 41 American railroads. With 600 4-8-2 locomotives, the largest user in the United States was the New York Central Railroad (NYC). The Water Level Route eschewed the hilly moniker in favor of Mohawk type. [32]
