Please set the next question.
It opened in 1838Correct
Ah....I must admit that I thought it opened in 1837! In which case it should be you to set the next question.It opened in 1838
I will have a guess at the 16 wheel peaks (class 44) with steam boilers fitted. I am sure they were 130+ tons
The 46s were certainly the heavyweights amongst diesel locos at 138 tons (the 45s a little bit less at 133 tons)The use of the singular "locomotive" makes me think this is going to be wrong, but the 46s were heavier than the 44s and 45s
But the LNER Class U1 2-8-0+0-8-2 weighed in at a huge 170 tons - so @Peterthegreat - the floor is yours.I would guess the LNER Garrett.
Oh - and the piece ends with a nice picture of a "Dean Single"."The heaviest railway locomotive ever to operate in the UK was the GWR (Great Western Railway) 4073 Class, also known as the "Castle Class". These powerful steam locomotives were designed by the legendary engineer Sir Nigel Gresley and were renowned for their impressive performance."
