GER Class T19 Rebuilt

GER Class T19 Rebuilt

The GER Class T19 Rebuilt was a class of 2-4-0 steam tender locomotives designed by James Holden for the Great Eastern Railway. They were rebuilt from the GER Class T19 with larger boilers. Confusingly, the name "GER Class T19 Rebuilt" was also applied to some other T19s which had been rebuilt with both a larger boiler and a 4-4-0 wheel arrangement. All the 2-4-0s had been withdrawn by 1920 so only the 4-4-0s passed to the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923 and these became LNER Class D13.

Overview

No 769 and twenty others were fitted with convert|4|ft|9|in|m|abbr=on diameter Belpaire boilers. This increased the grate area from 18 to convert|21.6|sqft|m2|abbr=on; the total heating surface from 1230 to convert|1476|sqft|m2|abbr=on and the boiler pressure was raised to 180psi. The ungainly appearance led to the nickname "Humpty Dumpty", but no official name has yet been found. All had been withdrawn by 1920.
