LNER Class O4 2-8-0 63601 at Barrow Hill (2)
Sunday 5th April 2009 at Barrow Hill Depot. Even in plain unlined black livery I think this is a very handsome locomotive – a classic design.
The O4 Class were very successful heavy freight locomotives designed by Robinson as his 8K class for the Great Central Railway. Many were built for the British Army during WW1 and although most found their way back to the UK many remained and continued to be used abroad – even as far away as Australia.
