One of these designers was Sacre who introduced the 4-4-0 to the Manchester Sheffield & Lincoln Railway (MS&LR, later GCR) in 1877 with his Class 6B (LNER Class D12). In common with many of his contemporaries, Sacre did not take advantage of the resulting longer frame length with a longer boiler.

The Great Central Railway Class 8N - London North Eastern Railway Class B6 - was a class of three 4-6-0 steam locomotives, designed by John G. Robinson in 1918. They were a mixed traffic class. All three examples were withdrawn in November and December 1947.

Although different from the later GCR 4-6-0s, the pair of 8Cs (B1 in LNER parlance) remained in steady, if varied, service right through World War II. Reclassified B18 to clear the way for Thompson's B1 class, the pair were retired and scrapped in 1947.
