North Eastern 2-2-4 Locomotives in Great_Britain
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class Class 190 / X3 (Locobase 3245)
Data from Richard Marsden's LNER Encyclopedia [
] . Among the rarest of wheel arrangements must be this tank engine, which was the result of converting a duo of 2-2-2 tender engines. As the dimensions show, this was not a tiny locomotive (the boiler was 11' 9" long), although the weight distribution was about as unbalanced as could be found. Still, the two-engine class persisted into the 1930s as LNER Class X3.
