The LNER 2-8-0 Locomotives

The LNER had a large number of heavy freight 2-8-0 locomotives. Although the LNER constructed and developed a few 2-8-0 types itself, the bulk of the LNER's 2-8-0 locomotives were purchased as war surplus locomotives after World War 1 (O4 ROD) and World War 2 (O7 'Austerity' WD).

Also included in this index are the WD 'Austerity' 2-10-0 locomotives, and the USATC S160 Lend-Lease locomotives.
