List of British Rail classes: Encyclopedia II - Steam locomotives of British Railways - Locomotives acquired from constituent companies and the War Department

A wide variety of locomotives were acquired from the four constituent companies. These had generally standardised their own designs. See: Locomotives of the Great Western Railway Locomotives of the Southern Railway Locomotives of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway Locomotives of the London and North Eastern Railway After initially using letter prefixes (E for ex-LNER, M for ex-LMS, S for ex-SR, andW for ex-GWR locomotives), it was decided to add 30000 to the Southern num ...

List of British Rail classes: Encyclopedia II - Steam locomotives of British Railways - Withdrawal

The 1955 Modernisation Plan called for the phasing out of steam traction. Major withdrawals occurred over the period 1962-1966, and steam traction finally ended in August 1968, coinciding with the Beeching Axe. Some were sold to London Transport, where steam remained until 1971. Steam on industrial lines remained until the early 1980s. ...

List of British Rail classes: Encyclopedia II - Steam locomotives of British Railways - BR standard classes

From 1951, BR started to build steam locomotives to its own standard designs, which were largely based on LMS practice, but incorporating ideas and modifications from the other constituent companies and America. Characteristic features of these were taper boilers, high running plates, two cylinders and streamlined cabs. Although more were ordered, a total of 999 BR standards were constructed, and the last, 92220 Evening Star, was built in 1960. Most never saw the end of their usefulness and bein ...

List of British Rail classes: Encyclopedia II - Steam locomotives of British Railways - Locomotives built by BR to Big Four designs

Initially, the newly nationalised network continued to be run as four different concerns, and pursued the policy of building of well-estalblished designs. Some of these were already quite old, one class (the J92 tank engines) were a pre-Grouping design. Steam locomotives of British Railways - ex-GWR designs. The Great Western management was opposed to nationalisation built many pannier tanks, resulting in a surplus of them. 452 locomotives were built to ex-GWR designs, of which 341 we ...

List of British Rail classes: Encyclopedia II - British Locomotive and Multiple Unit Numbering and Classification - 1948 Numbering and Classification

Immediately after Nationalisation, BR had to decide how to number and classify the stock it had inherited from the 'Big Four' companies, and how newly-built stock would be included. In the main, it decided to simply adapt what was already there. British Locomotive and Multiple Unit Numbering and Classification - Locomotives. The classification systems of the 'Big Four' were left unchanged for the inherited locomotives. However, BR decided to adopt the former LMS method of classification (see above) as its preferred ...

List of British Rail classes: Encyclopedia II - British Locomotive and Multiple Unit Numbering and Classification - 1957 Numbering and Classification

In the early period of British Railways, steam locomotion had continued to be of prime importance. Apart from a growing selection of diesel shunters, there had been almost no development of mainline diesel or electric traction beyond the few locomotives ordered by the 'Big Four' companies. The 1955 Modernisation Plan heralded big changes in this situation, and from 1957 a new numbering system was used for diesel and electric locomotives ordered by British Railways, including those shunters ordered before 1957, which were renumbered in ...

List of British Rail classes: Encyclopedia II - British Locomotive and Multiple Unit Numbering and Classification - London & North Eastern Railway LNER

The LNER used mainly steam locomotives for haulage, despite the fact that it inherited the North Eastern Railway's interests in DC overhead electric traction. Its later plans to introduce 1500 V DC overhead schemes on the Woodhead route over the Pennines and the London Liverpool Street-Shenfield suburban line were interrupted by World War II, and completed only after Nationalisation. British Locomotive and Multiple Unit Numbering and Classification - Numbering. When the LNER was created in 1923, it ...

List of British Rail classes: Encyclopedia II - British Locomotive and Multiple Unit Numbering and Classification - London Midland & Scottish Railway LMS

The LMS was principally reliant on steam locomotives, though it was the leader in testing new diesel locomotives in the 1930s and 1940s, and ordered the UK's first mainline diesel locomotives, 10000 and 10001. British Locomotive and Multiple Unit Numbering and Classification - Numbering. When the LMS was formed, it undertook a complete renumbering of all locomotives so that all locomotives in the same class were together. The following broad series were used: Later, it was decided to use the 1–999 ...

List of British Rail classes: Encyclopedia II - British Locomotive and Multiple Unit Numbering and Classification - Great Western Railway GWR

The GWR was the longest-lived of the pre-nationalisation companies, surviving almost unchanged the 'Grouping' of the railways in 1923. As a result, the history of its numbering and classification of locomotives is more complicated. British Locomotive and Multiple Unit Numbering and Classification - Numbering. Broad-gauge locomotives were not numbered, only named, ...

List of British Rail classes: Encyclopedia II - British Locomotive and Multiple Unit Numbering and Classification - Southern Railway SR

The SR made extensive use of electric multiple units, extending the former London & South Western Railway 660 V DC third rail network across large swathes of its operating area, and so built very few steam locomotives of its own. British Locomotive and Multiple Unit Numbering and Classification - Locomotives. Perhaps because the focus of the SR was on electrification, no standard classification of steam locomotives was developed. Instead, the classes allocated by its pre-Grouping constituents were perp ...

The 900 series classes were reserved for multiple units in departmental stock, most of which were converted from old passenger units. In broad terms, classes 930-935 were allocated to Southern Region multiple units (ex-200 and 400 series), 936 & 937 to other EMUs (ex-300 and 500 series) and 960 to other DMUs (ex-100 series).

British Rail operated a wide variety of electric multiple units. AC units operated off 25 kV AC from overhead wires. Where clearances for the overhead wires on the Great Eastern and London, Tilbury & Southend routes were below standard, a reduced voltage of 6.25 kV AC was used. The Midland Railway units used 6.6 kV AC. Under the computer numbering, AC units (including mixed-voltage units that can also work off a DC supply) were given a Class in the range 300-399.
