The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) D41 class was a type of 4-4-0 steam locomotive inherited from the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNSR). The class consisted of two similar GNSR classes: 'S' (introduced in 1893 and designed by James Johnson) and 'T' (introduced in 1895 and designed by William Pickersgill). The two classes were similar but with detail differences to the boiler. The LNER therefore treated them all as a single class, 'D41'. The first locomotive was withdrawn in 1946, but 22 locomotives passed into British Railways ownership in 1948. The last locomotive was withdrawn in 1953, and all have been scrapped. |
