The GNR N2 0-6-2T – 1744 is a preserved steam locomotive originally built for the Great Northern Railway in the early 20th century. Designed by the engineer Nigel Gresley and introduced in 1912, the N2 class was a type of tank engine, meaning it carried its water and fuel on board rather than in a separate tender. The wheel arrangement 0-6-2T indicates that the locomotive has no leading wheels, six driving wheels, and two trailing wheels supporting a rear water tank, with the “T” denoting its tank design.
 

Locomotive number 1744 is one of the surviving examples of this class and was built at Doncaster Works in 1920. It later became part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) after the 1923 Grouping, and later still British Railways, under which it carried the number 69523. The N2s were primarily suburban passenger locomotives, particularly associated with services around London, such as the “Outer Suburban” and “Inner Suburban” routes from King’s Cross. They were known for their strong acceleration, ideal for short distances between stops, and for handling heavy commuter traffic efficiently.
 

The locomotives were compact but powerful, featuring inside cylinders and Stephenson valve gear. Their side tanks and rear bunker gave them a distinctive, sturdy appearance. By the late 1950s the class was being withdrawn as diesel and electric trains replaced steam on suburban routes.
 

No. 1744 was saved from scrapping and restored to working order in its original Great Northern Railway apple-green livery, complete with the number 1744 and “G N R” lettering. It has since operated on several heritage railways and mainline excursions, representing the final era of GNR suburban steam before modern traction took over. The locomotive remains one of the most recognisable examples of Gresley’s early design work and an important link to pre-Grouping British railway history.

This Locomotive can be seen at North Norfolk Railway
