2-6-4 tank engine number 790 River Avon and a class N 2-6-0 goods locomotive number 810
2-6-4 tank engine number 790 " River Avon" and a class N 2-6-0 goods locomotive number 810, about 1925. These two locomotives had been built for the South Eastern & Chatham Railway. Tank engines did not need a separate tender for water and coal. They could either push or pull trains, which meant that they did not have to be turned around on a turntable at the end of their journey. They were normally used on local lines, as they were rarely powerful enough to haul long trains

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from around 1925 showcases two remarkable locomotives built for the South Eastern & Chatham Railway. In the foreground, we have the elegant 2-6-4 tank engine number 790 "River Avon" exuding a sense of power and grace. Standing tall beside it is the class N 2-6-0 goods locomotive number 810, equally impressive in its own right. What sets these locomotives apart is their unique design as tank engines. Unlike traditional steam engines, they do not require a separate tender for water and coal. This feature allowed them to efficiently operate on local lines without needing frequent stops for refueling. The versatility of these tank engines was another notable advantage. Capable of both pushing and pulling trains, they eliminated the need to be turned around on a turntable at the end of each journey. This made them ideal for shorter routes where long trains were not necessary. It's fascinating to observe how technology evolved during this era, with coal-fired locomotives like these playing an integral role in transportation history. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time when these magnificent machines ruled the rails. Preserved by the National Railway Museum, this print serves as a testament to our rich railway heritage and reminds us of the ingenuity that shaped our modern transportation systems today
