Great Central Railway Class 8G, 4-6-0, No. 1113
When Sir Sam Fay began to expand the services offered by the Great Central Railway, one of the areas he concentrated on was the carrying of freight. To improve the services, Fay requested that new freight locomotives be built, and the result was the John G. Robinson designed Class 8 4-6-0's of 1902. A smaller wheeled version, known as the 8G, was designed by Robinson and built by Beyer Peacock & Co. of Manchester in 1906. This image is the official Beyer Peacock works photograph of No. 1113 - the locomotive being painted in grey for the purpose. See on Route Map
