The GER Class D27 was a class of 2-2-2 steam tender locomotives designed by James Holden for the Great Eastern Railway.
History[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
In 1888 Holden experimented by removing the side rods of T19 No. 721 to form a 2-2-2.[2] In 1889 the first of a new class appeared: initially No. 740 (later 789 and 780) which had been built on a 'Locomotive and Machinery' account. This was followed by two batches of ten on the more normal 'Letter' account.[3] in 1893. They were built with Vorlage:Convert[4] inside cylinders powered by a Vorlage:Convert boiler. They were later rebuilt with Vorlage:Convert and Vorlage:Convert boilers.[3]
| Year | Order no. | Manufacturer | Quantity | GER Nos. | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1889 | LM68 | Stratford Works | 1 | 740 | Renumbered 789, then 780 |
| 1891 | D27 | Stratford Works | 10 | 770–779 | |
| 1893 | F32 | Stratford Works | 10 | 1000–1009 |
One of their main spheres was on the Joint Line working expresses to York. In 1896 the class inaugurated the epic making non-stop run to North Walsham using oil-firing. Rous-Martin[5] found that the singles climbed Brentwood Bank more rapidly than the 2-4-0s. See also Ahrons (1951).
Nine locomotives were withdrawn between 1901 and 1903. The surviving eight locomotives in the 770-series were transferred to the duplicate list in July 1904, and had their number prefixed with a "0". The remaining fourteen were withdrawn between 1904 and 1907.[6]
