  • Many people have asked me why I rarely take a look at tank engines for Those Great Locomotives. The history behind one of J.G. Robinson's and even the entirety of the Great Central Railway's most graceful locomotives, the 9Ns (later classified as A5s by the LNER) might tell you why...

    Jesus, the GCR was worse off than i thought! But the 9N's are handsome looking machines, you can't deny that.

    The final batch, built between 1925 and 1926, went straight to the North East. The LNER Encyclopedia has a picture of 1756 at Redcar Central.

    Such an interesting and successful loco. It’s really a shame that none were preserved. We need to build a replica.

    There are two parts of the GCR mainline preserved, the GCR from Loughborough to Leicester and the GCRN from Nottingham to Loughborough where I volunteer.

    I have a great fondness for the 9N's and their unusual design. It's a shame that they hailed from a railway that wasn't very sucessful. I would love to see a 9N preserved one day.

    Frames cracking on early Pacific’s was a problem. Possibly due to the greater restrictions on axle loadings in the early days, they made the frames too thin.

    to say something positive about the GCR, at least part of their mainline resulted in the biggest heritage railway that currently exists. I do find their engines gorgeous, even though most of them were scrapped with only two remaining

    Forgot to say I hardly considor the Thompson L1's successful as they were known for shaking themselves to pieces for being so powerful. Also I don't really like the Thompson L1's anyway not just because of their problems but also because they replaced many of Gresley's V3's. Thank goodness a new V3 is planning on being built

    question, have ANY GCR steam locomotives survived into preservation?

    • @FlyingScott
      @FlyingScott  Před rokem +2

      A grand total of two. A 11F 4-4-0 and an 8K 2-8-0, both in the hands of the NRM I believe. the 8K is undergoing restoration at the preserved GCR.

    The problem with the GCR it didn’t stop at many places and it virtually follows the route of HS2.

      I got a DC one actually (fitted with a spare Hatton's chip meant for the Hunslet), though the serviceability of the loco is something I myself am not pleased with.
