LMS BLACK 5 4-6-0

摘要

With eight hundred and forty-two of the class built the Class 5's were probably the most widely used steam locomotives ever to run on Britain's railways. They were designed soon after Sir William Stonier took over as Chief Mechanical Engineer and incorporated several GWR features. Designated as mixed traffic locomotives the Black 5's were equally at home pulling a rake of coaches, or at the head of a freight train. With 6ft diameter driving wheels and a tractive effort of 25,445lbs the Black 5 proved itself a highly capable "go anywhere, do anything" locomotive.
