Hughes L&Y 4-6-0 passenger engine

I have always been struck by the similarities between

the Lancashire and Yorkshire locomotives and the LNWR

designs such as the Claughton's of a similar period. Of

course the LNWR and the L&Y amalgamated before

the 1924 great grouping, having amalgamated on 1st

of January 1922.

 

 

Crewe and Horwich must have had some amazing

second sight or more realistically joint thinking

Above the Hughes 4-6-0 three cylinder passenger

locomotive built for the fast trans Pennine services

of the L&Y

 

It compares well with the Claughton class four cylinder

4-6-0 of the LNWR.
