The North Eastern Railway Class S3, classified B16 by the LNER, was a class of 4-6-0 steam locomotive designed for mixed traffic work. It was designed by Vincent Raven and introduced in 1920. The earlier members of this class were fitted with Westinghouse Brakes - all of this equipment was removed during the 1930s.

The North Eastern Railway Class S (LNER Class B13) was a 4-6-0 type of steam locomotive designed for express passenger workings. The first example was built in 1899. They were very similar to the NER Class S1, except for the smaller wheels of the former.

LNER 4-6-0 Locomotives. Originally introduced to Britain in 1894 for freight haulage, 4-6-0 locomotives ("Ten-Wheelers" in American railroad jargon) became the predominant type for express and mixed traffic duties. By 1948 4-6-0s in Britain were outnumbered only by 0-6-0s and 0-6-0Ts, and British Railways built more 4-6-0s than any other type.

The Raven Class B16 (NER Class S3) 4-6-0s. Vincent Raven's Class S3 (LNER B16) was a culmination of the North Eastern Railway's (NER) development of the 4-6-0 wheel arrangement started by Wilson Worsdell's Class S (LNER B13). When they first appeared in 1919, the B16s were described as "fast goods" locomotives, but this was later changed to the ...

The Worsdell Class B13 (NER Class S) 4-6-0s. By the late 1890s, the "Race to the North" had died down, and the emphasis moved more to comfort rather than speed. This led to an increase in express train weights, and a need for more powerful passenger locomotives that were not necessarily as fast.

The first is a replica of NER Class O 0-4-4T No. 1759. The locomotive is currently under construction by the Class G5 Locomotive Company at a site in Shildon as of 2023. [ 91 ] [ 92 ]

Sep 26, 2004 · The first 4-6-0 produced in Great Britain for express service, this design showed that the 4-6-0 could increase the trailing load for passenger trains now that driver tire and rail metallurgy had improved.

A 4-6-0 steam locomotive, under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, has four leading wheels on two axles in a leading bogie and six powered and coupled driving wheels on three axles with the absence of trailing wheels.

Apr 4, 2022 · The solution came in 1919, when the NER's chief mechanical engineer, Vincent Raven came up with a 4-6-0 that could be used on both express passenger trains and express goods trains. To provide a good balance between speed and adhesion, 5-foot 8-inch driving wheels were chosen.
