| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. 18 Class WT
locomotives were built at Derby Works in England to the design of George
Ivatt between 1946 and 1950. They were numbered 1-10 and 50-57. They
were a tank engine version of the NCC Class W moguls. A tank engine did
not require turning at termini and the LMS had produced a series of
successful 2-6-4Ts. Like the LMS Fairburn 2-6-4T built at the same time,
they had a hopper bunker and absence of plating ahead of the cylinders.
They were based on the LMS Fowler 2-6-4T by Sir Henry Fowler. In
December 1962 locomotive No.50 received a boiler from one of the ex-NCC
2-6-0 tender locomotives, the boiler and firebox being overhauled and
repaired at Derby. |
