LNER Thompson Class A2

LNER Thompson Class A2

:"Disambiguation: LNER Peppercorn Class A2, Raven Class A2"

The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Thompson Class A2 was a class of steam locomotive designed for express passenger work by Edward Thompson. There were three subclasses; the A2/1 (4 engines) which were originally ordered as V2 2-6-2s, the A2/2 (6 engines) rebuilt from P2 2-8-2s and A2/3 (15 engines) which were new builds. None has survived into preservation.

Class A2/1

The A2/1 were originally ordered as V2 locomotives, as designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, but were revised during construction into a 4-6-2 'Pacific' arrangement under the instruction of Edward Thompson. The A2/1 Class retained the same boiler as the V2 Class, though the pressure was increased to 225psi.
