Greater Britain locomotive 2053 (H0 gauge) |
 |
| location: |
A black 00-gauge model of the "Greater Britain" locomotive, running number 2053.
Although the Greater Britain class have four drive wheels, suggesting that they be classified as 2-4-2, the two pairs of drivers are unconnected, giving a technical classificiartion of 2-(2-2)-2.
The LNWR Greater Britain class appeared in 1892, and the similarly configured John Hicks class showed up in 1894. The 2-(2-2)-2 locomotioves were not particularly sucessful, and no others were produced.
