During the 1870s driving cabs were added. 278 examples of a saddle tank version of the design were built after 1870, known as the LNWR Special Tank. In addition to the 857 examples used by the LNWR, a further 86 examples of the original design were constructed at Crewe for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (LYR) between 1871 and 1874. [1]

By the 1870s, this cutting-edge technology was found in over three-quarters of all in-service steam locomotives, firmly establishing its place as an 'American Type.' The nation's railroad evolution, instrumental in shaping the great country we see today, was largely powered by …

Apr 9, 2019 · Although the 4-4-0 wheel arrangement was first used in the USA in 1836 and in the 19th century 85% of US express locomotives were of this type, the 4-4-0 had been slow to catch on in Britain; most of the earlier ones being tank engines.

0–6–0 tank THE six-wheel engine illustrated was built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for switching service on the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad. This illustration was reproduced from Weissenborn's book of locomotive drawings of 1870.

The 3511 2-4-0Ts were a tank engine version of the Stella Class 2-4-0s, presumably a part of Dean's standardisation exercises. They were a much larger engine than the Metros with 17" by 26" cylinders and Class P (Dean Goods) boilers.

The T.W. Worsdell J71 (NER Class E) 0-6-0 Tank Engines. When T.W. Worsdell arrived at the North Eastern Railway (NER) in 1885, he was faced with a significant backlog in boiler repairs and replacements. This was partly because the boiler shops at Gateshead were being reorganised.

Thus the 1870 series was numbered between GNR No. 1 and 671, the 1884 series 771-8 and 1001-2, and 1894 series 1003-8. These locomotives were able to haul 275-long-ton (279 t; 308-short-ton) trains at an average of 50 miles per hour (80 km/h), with a top speed on lighter trains of 85 miles per hour (137 km/h). [8] .
