LNER Thompson/Peppercorn Class K1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Class K1 is a type of 2-6-0 (mogul) steam locomotive designed by Edward Thompson. Thompson preferred a simple two-cylinder design instead of Gresley's three cylinder one. The seventy K1s were intended to be split between the Northern and Eastern regions of British Railways.
