James Holden E4 (GER T26) 2-4-0

Post by neildimmer »

I have added a very large collection of photos featuring the GER James Holden E4 class (GER T26) 2-4-0

The GER Class T26 was a class of 2-4-0 steam tender locomotives designed by James Holden for the Great Eastern Railway. At the 1923 grouping they passed to the London and North Eastern Railway, who classified them E4. Eighteen survived into British Railways ownership in 1948, and the last was withdrawn in 1959, making them the last 2-4-0s at work in Britain. Their BR numbers were 62780–62797
