L&NWR  locomotives   

The L&NWR developed its locomotives over many years. They were built to do a job and that job changed as train speeds and, especially, train weights, increased dramatically. At its formation in 1846 The new company inherited a variety of designs from the constituent companies.

This section of the website aims to give details of all L&NWR locomotive classes. We start with a list which has clickable links(in blue)to pages giving brief details of various class. From there, clicking on the links under the photo will eventually take you to more detailed information on that class.

Please note that these pages are still being developed and will be added to over a period of time
