Metropolitan Railway K Class

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Metropolitan Railway K Class consisted of six 2-6-4T steam locomotives, numbered 111 to 116. They were built by Armstrong Whitworth in 1924 using parts from N Class 2-6-0 locomotives of the South Eastern and Chatham Railway.

The K Class were used on heavy freight trains along London's Metropolitan mainline, including coal to the power station at Neasden, although there were used on occasional passenger trains. In 1937 all six were transferred to the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) where they were based at Neasden (LNER) Shed. The LNER classified them as L2 Class.

All were withdrawn and scrapped between 1943 and 1948.
