Classification[edit]


Classification is complex. The NER initially classified these locomotives "M1" while a variant (with compound expansion) was classified "M". The compound was later re-classified "3CC" and the "M1" was re-classified "M".


Under LNER ownership the "M" (formerly "M1") became LNER Class D17/1 and the "3CC" (formerly "M") became LNER Class D19.


This table summarises LNER classes D17, D18 and D19, which were all very similar:

Accidents and incidents[edit]


  • On 4 October 1894, locomotive No. 1622 was one of two locomotives hauling a sleeping car train which overran signals and collided with a freight train that was being shunted at Castle Hills, Yorkshire. One person was killed.[1]
  • On 14 February 1927, locomotive No. 1628 was hauling a passenger train that was in a head-on collision with another at Hull Paragon station, Yorkshire due to a signalman's error. Twelve people were killed and 24 were injured.[2]


Withdrawal[edit]


The last two D17/1s were withdrawn in 1945. Number 1629 was scrapped but number 1621 was saved for preservation.


No D17/1s passed into British Railways ownership. Two D17/2s did (BR numbers 62111 and 62112) but they were withdrawn in February 1948.



Preservation[edit]


  • D17/1 number 1621 is preserved at the National Railway Museum. It is now currently at the National Railway Museum in Shildon.
