Summary edit

Description

Great Central Railway Winter Gala 2012 The current GCR's engine, No.63601, was one of the earliest, being built in 1911 and basically was unaltered until its withdrawal in 1963. It entered service as GCR No.102, becoming LNER No.5102 in 1923, renumbered by the LNER 3509 in 1946, and again 3601 in 1947 until taking its BR number.

The BR Standard Class 2 2-6-0 is a class of steam locomotive, one of the British Railways Standard classes of the 1950s. They were physically the smallest of the Standard classes; 65 were built.

The design was derived from the Ivatt-designed LMS Class 2MT 2-6-0, with a reduced cab to enable it to fit into a universal loading gauge, and other standard fittings, most notably a taller chimney, others including the lack of an Ivatt dome and side plates connecting the two sections of the engine.
