The L&YR Class 2 (Aspinall) was a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotives of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. It was a development of the Barton Wright Class 2 with larger cylinders and Joy valve gear and was introduced in 1888. Thirty locomotives were built and 29 passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway at the grouping in 1923.[1]
