The Great Central Railway Class 9N, classified A5 by the LNER, was a class of 4-6-2 tank locomotives designed by John G. Robinson for suburban passenger services. They were fitted with superheaters, piston valves and Stephenson valve gear.

A fourth batch was ordered by the GCR, but was built after Grouping in 1923. The LNER ordered a fifth and final batch from Hawthorn, Leslie & Co. which was built between 1925 and 1926. This final batch was to fill a shortage of passenger tank locomotives in the North Eastern area.

The GCR Class 8B was a class of 27 two-cylinder steam locomotives of the 4-4-2 wheel arrangement built between 1903 and 1906 for the Great Central Railway. They were nicknamed "Jersey Lillies" after the famous music star Lillie Langtry. [1]

Locomotives for most jobs were designed by Robinson ranging from small 0-6-0 tanks through to 4-6-0 express passenger engines to heavy goods designs and the large 0-8-4 Wath hump shunting engines; designs incorporating two, three and four cylinders and a few compounds.

The 4-6-2 Pacifics were given the power classification 7 and are generally known as Britannias after the first member of the class, No.70000. No.70013 was built at Crewe in 1951.
