Facing a potential rise in passenger traffic, the Great Central Railway placed an order for two pairs of different locomotives from the North British Locomotive Company of Glasgow in 1903 - one pair being the 4-6-0 GCR Class 8C, the other pair being this 4-4-2 locomotive.
Two were built as a comparison with a two similar 4-4-2 locomotives (GCR Class 8B, later LNER class C4). The 4-4-2 locomotives were numbered 192 and 194, the 4-6-0s 195 and 196. [1] They were built with a saturated boiler, inside slide valves and Stephenson valve gear, two outside cylinders connected to 6-foot-9-inch (2.057 m) diameter driving ...

The Great Central Railway Class 8, known as the London and North Eastern Railway Class B5 following the 1923 Grouping, was a class of fourteen 4-6-0 steam locomotives designed to haul fast goods trains, in particular fish trains.
The USRA standard designs of 1918 did not include a 2-6-0. Southern Pacific 2-6-0 No. 1744, 1982. WDWRR No. 2 Lilly Belle, built in 1928. Five notable 2-6-0 locomotives are still in operation in the United States. Southern Pacific No. 1744 has spent more time out of service than it did under its own power in the preservation era.

The Baldwin Locomotive Works built three 2-8-8-8-2 triplex locomotives for the Erie Railroad and one 2-8-8-8-4 for the Virginian Railway. All the triplex locomotives built were of the Mallet type, but with an extra set of driving wheels under the tender.
The locomotives were originally nameless. No. 259 was the first to be named, this occurring by November 1906 and was in honour of the reigning monarch; no. 364 was named by March 1907 after the wife of the GCR Chairman, Sir Alexander Henderson; no. 365 was named by October 1907 after the former GCR General Manager; and no. 258 was last, in June 1909, being named after the senior Director on ...
