In addition to these locomotives, 2 new build steam locomotives are under construction: 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.

The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) produced several classes of locomotive, mostly to the designs of Nigel Gresley, characterised by a three-cylinder layout with a parallel boiler and round-topped firebox.
