G5 LOCOMOTIVE

• 30200 - Manufacture of railway locomotives and rolling stock

Our Aim:- To design, build and operate a North Eastern Railway Class O, LNER Class G5, 0-4-4 Passenger Tank Locomotive... The Class G5 Locomotive Company Limited has been founded by a group of like minded Northern railway enthusiasts, who intend to recreate a full-size prototypical North Eastern Railway Class O (LNER Class G5) 0 - 4 - 4 Passenger Tank Locomotive, initially for use on heritage railways such as Weardale, Wensleydale and Aln Valley but later on the main line... There is an increasing shortage of first class steam locomotives of this size and capacity available for use on heritage railways. Most small to medium sized locomotives are over 60 years old with all of the associated problems. In addition many of the preserved industrial-type locomotives are either too small or do not have the capacity to cope with longer, heavier, trains, we intend to address this problem!
