Full size Locomotive History: Facing a potential rise in passenger traffic, the Great Central Railway placed an order for two pairs of different locomotives from the North British Locomotive Company of Glasgow in 1903 - one pair being the 4-6-0 GCR Class 8C, the other pair being this 4-4-2 locomotive. The two locomotives shared as many common components as possible to allow easy conversion of the 8Bs to the 4-6-0 configuration - and both designs borrowed heavily from John G Robinsons earlier GCR Class 8.
However, due to a much smaller than anticipated traffic increase, no further Class 8Cs were built, and instead a further 25 Class 8Bs were ordered and built between 1904 and 1906 - built with larger fireboxes as there was no longer a need to convert the locomotives to a 4-6-0 configuration. In 1909 and 1910, the original locomotives also received this larger firebox.
