GCR Class 9F

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Great Central Railway (GCR) Class 9F was a class of 0-6-2T steam locomotive.

Originally constructed by Thomas Parker in 1891 for the Great Central Railway (GCR), the prototype 9F was built in a total of 12 batches up to 1901, with 131 locos eventually being constructed. They were reclassifed as N5 under the LNER locomotive numbering and classification system when the GCR was absorbed into the London & North Eastern Railway after the 1923 grouping. It was the first British design to use the Belpaire firebox.
