NER Class T2

The North Eastern Railway Class T2, classified as Class Q6 by the London and North Eastern Railway, was a class of 0-8-0 steam locomotives for heavy freight, above all long coal trains to the collieries of the North Eastern region of the UK, with a maximum speed of 40 miles per hour. Of the 120 built between 1913 and 1921, some came from Darlington Works and fifty from Armstrong Whitworth. The article says the Armstrong Whitworth batch of 1919 was that firm's first locomotive work after its Scotswood works changed from ordnance to peacetime production. All passed into British Railways ownership in 1948, numbered 63340 to 63459, and general withdrawals ran from 1963 to 1967. One locomotive, 63395, survives on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, owned by the North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group, and Hornby has made a 1:76 scale model of the class.
