The locomotives of the Great Eastern Railway. 3-4.
Previous part 15, 223: describes 2-4-0T of 1871/5 designed by Johnson (Nos. 81-3) and Adams 0-4-2T (Nos. 13/14). Figs. 156-8. Notes that orginally painted canary yellow with black bands lined with red and white. Although not all alike in certain details they were usually regarded as forming one class, and their general dimensions as originally built were: cylinders 15-in. x 22-in. stroke, diameter of coupled wheels 5-ft. 3-in,. total heating surface 830 ft². Grate area 12.75 ft²., working pressure 140 lb. psi. The boiler mountings were of Mr. Johnson’s usual pattern with two spring-balance safety valves on the dome. Nos. 81 to 83, illustrated by Fig 156, had tanks holding 500 gallons of water.. The remainder, known as class T7 (Fig. 157) had tanks with a capacity of 750 gals., their running weight being 33 tons 12 cwt. 2 qrs. The last five which were completed by Mr. Adams had in addition to the larger tanks several other differences from the preceding engines. The boilers contained 148 tubes of 1¾-in. external diameter, the heating surface being: tubes 636.69 sq. ft., firebox 74.43 sq. ft., total 711.12 sq. ft. Instead of Mr. Johnson’s standard type of chimney, Nos. 15 and 16 had Mr. Adams’ plain tapered chimney of standard height, as shown in Fig. 158, whilst Nos. 17 to 19 had similar but shorter chimneys to enable them to work on the North Woolwich branch. These five engines also had cast-iron number plates. Nos. 15 and 16 had bell-mouthed dome covers, but without the spring balance safety valves; whilst Nos. 17 to 19 had round-top dome covers and Ramsbottom safety valves over the firebox. Straight weatherboards only were originally provided, but several latterly had cabs put on, and with the exception of Nos. 13 and 82, were eventually fitted with the Westinghouse brake. Nos. 81 to 83, 13 and 14 were originally painted canary yellow, with black bands, lined with red and white. Nos. 13, 18, and 82 were scrapped in 1891, Nos. 12, 81, 83, 84 and 86 in 1892, Nos. 11, 17 and 85 in 1893, and Nos. 14, 15. 16 and 19 in 1894.

Describes Johnson 417 class 0-6-0. Figs. 159-60. Supplied by Beyer Peacock (Fig 159); Robert Stephenson, Dubs, Naysmith Wilson, and Yorkshire Engine Co. (Fig. 160). To cope with the rapidly increasing goods traffic, there arose about this period a need for a locomotive with both greater hauling capacity and, at the same time, more efficient brake power than that provided by the 417 class, which Mr. Johnson had hitherto adopted as his standard, and he accordingly designed the six-coupled engines of the 477 class, of which fifty in all were constructed, the whole of them being built by outside firms as follows:-
Eng. Nos. Maker. Makers’ Nos. Date.
477-486 Beyer Peacock & Co. 1014-1023 1871
487-496 Beyer Peacock & Co. 1024-1033 1872
497-499 R. Stephenson & Co. 1998-2000 1872
500-501 R. Stephenson & Co. . 2003-2004 1872
502-506 Dubs & Co. 503-507 1872
507-511 Nasmyth Wilson & Co. 120-124 1872
512-526 Yorkshire Eng. Co. 195-209 1873
One of the Beyer Peacock engines is shown in Fig. 159, and one of those by the Yorkshire Engine Co. in Fig. 160. All were of the same general dimensions, the chief of which were as follows.

Includes a meticulous "rough sketch" of Kirtley's variable blast pipe fitted in 1877 to six goods engines and six bogie express engines designed by William Kirtley for the London, Chatham & Dover Railway. After being in use for a short time these nozzles were discarded as they were not satisfactory and ordinary blast pipes were substituted.
