The Gresley N2 0-6-2T Locomotives. With the completion of the final batch of Ivatt's N1 0-6-2T suburban tank, the Great Northern Railway (GNR) did not require any further suburban tank locomotives until after World War 1.

With the completion of the final batch of Ivatt’s N1 0-6-2T suburban tank, the Great Northern Railway (GNR) did not require any further suburban tank locomotives until after the First World War. In 1919 Gresley considered a number of possible designs for a new suburban tank engine, including an improved 0-6-2T, a 2-6-2T, and a 2-6-4T.

The Main Line Steam Trust offered to undertake this work as the N2 was ideal for the Great Central Railway. The locomotive moved to Quorn & Woodhouse in November, 1975 and entered traffic in LNER black in April, 1978. For the next ten years the engine saw regular use, and was repainted as 69523 in November 1987.
