GER Holden 2-2-2

The GER Holden 2-2-2 was a class of 2-2-2 steam tender locomotives designed by James Holden for the Great Eastern Railway.

Overview

In 1888 Holden experimented by removing the side rods of T19 No. 721 to form a 2-2-2. [(Allen 1961:114)] In 1889 the first of new class appeared: initially No. 740 (later 789 and 780) and this was followed by two batches of ten: 770-779 in 1891 and 1000-1009 in 1893. One of their main spheres was on the Joint Line working expresses to York. In 1896 the class inaugurated the epic making non-stop run to North Walsham using oil-firing. No. 780, had inside cylinders (18 x 24 in.). [(Rous-Marten 1902:272)] (Rous-Marten 1898a) found that the singles climbed Brentwood Bank more rapidly than the 2-4-0s. See also (Ahrons 1951).
