LNER Internal Combustion Locomotives

The LNER had a handful of petrol and diesel powered shunting locomotives. Also included in this section is the experimental Kitson-Still locomotive which incorporated a hybrid steam-diesel engine.

The LNER also had 10 narrow gauge internal combustion locomotives. These were used for a variety of different purposes including "passing through [creosote] tanks", moving spoil, and the infilling of the Hull Queen's Dock. These were made by Baguley/McEwan Pratt, Motor Rail & Tram, and Ruston & Hornsby; and gauges ranged between 2ft and 3ft. The records for these locomotives is fragmentary.

Internal Combustion Railcars

The LNER inherited a number of railcars with internal combustion. Most were built on a trial basis and never purchased in larger numbers.
