Great Eastern 2-6-0 Locomotives in Great_Britain
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class unknown (Locobase 3019)
Data from Ahrons (1927) and Glover (1967).
Unsuccessful stab by William Adams and his successor Massey Bromley at increasing the size of freight engines. Rather than supplanting smaller 0-6-0s, these Moguls -- the first of the wheel arrangement in Britain -- proved profligate coal burners, needed too much lubricating oil, and did not steam well. They were scrapped after only 6-8 years of service.
According to steamindex's review of Great Eastern locomotive designs ([
], last accessed 28 June 2006), #572, the first of the class, was dubbed Mogul "...after the Great Moguls of Delhi, who at that time were much in the public eye. The name was painted on the large sandboxes which stood on the running plate above the middle pair of driving wheels ..."
