摘要

The Gresley 'B17' 4-6-0 came about through the need to introduce a powerful 4-6-0 steam locomotive to haul heavy passenger trains on the Great Eastern section of the LNER. Chief Mechanical Engineer Sir Nigel Gresley was given the task. Production was handed to the North British Locomotive Company under contract and, after some modifications to its design, the first 'B17' 4-6-0 was introduced in November 1928.
