Summary
| Description |
The North Eastern Railway (NER) built the two Q1 (LNER D18) locomotives in 1896 as part of the 'races' between the East and West Coast routes to Scotland in 1888 and 1895. The Q1s were fitted with large 7ft 7.25in diameter driving wheels. These were be the largest coupled driving wheels fitted to any British locomotive, and were a clear indication of the Class Q1's purpose. Unfortunately the races never resumed, and no attempt was ever made to determine the Q1's top speed. Both D18s were withdrawn in October 1930 This photo was taken from an old original photo we came across while helping to clear the house of a deceased friend. I have uploaded it to Flickr in the hope that it might be interesting to steam enthusiasts. |
