2-8-0 Class O2 Tango Gresley GNR/LNER Profile and Models

The Class O2 was designed by Nigel Gresley for the Great Northern Railway in the late 1910s. These three cylinder 2-8-0 locomotives were designed for freight work and proved to be successful in service. Further examples were later produced by the LNER from 1924 onwards. The class survived long into British Railways use and were often seen across the former LNER network, from Stratford, through East Anglia and into the East Midlands on iron ore and coal traffic. Every locomotive was scrapped by the end of 1963.
