Whale 4-6-0 inside two cylinder 4F-D

Again the similarity of thinking between Crewe
and Horwich is apparent. Whales 4F-D 
 
Introduced 1908. Whale LNWR "19-inch Goods".
  Rebuilt with Belpaire boiler.

Weight:
Loco 63 tons 0 cwt Driving Wheel: 5' 2?"
Boil Press: 175lb/sq in NS
Cylinders: Two Valve Gear: Joy (piston valves)
19" x 26" (inside) TE: 22,340 lb
 
 
The 4F-D was a freight engine which could well
serve on passenger trains too notably excursion
work and special running where a conventional
passenger loco was not available.
