What is it?
In the early part of the 20th Century, Steven Holden of the Great Eastern Railway (GER) produced a new heavy freight locomotive, with greater power than previous designs, which would ultimately become the LNER Class J17 0‐6‐0. The classic GER design incorporated cylinder and boiler arrangements from the recently introduced ‘Claude Hamilton’ 4‐4‐0s and was provided with the GER large tender.
