The [[North Eastern Railway (UK)|North Eastern Railway]] (NER) '''1001 Class ''' was a class of [[Long Boiler locomotive|long-boiler]] [[0-6-0]] [[steam locomotive]] originally designed by [[William Bouch]] for the [[Stockton and Darlington Railway]].<br />
<br />
==Technical data==<br />
A NER 1001 class locomotive weighed about {{convert|35|LT|t ST}}, with a wheelbase of {{convert|11|ft|10|in|m|abbr=on}} and {{convert|5|ft|0.5|in|m|3|abbr=on}} diameter driven wheels. Its {{convert|4|ft|3|in|m|abbr=on}} diameter boiler produced over {{convert|7|LT|t ST}} of tractive effort at {{convert|140|psi|abbr=on}}.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The [[Long Boiler locomotive|"long boiler" design]] dated back to a [[George Stephenson|Stephenson]] design of 1842. At that time there was a controversy about keeping the centre of gravity low. Another point of view was espoused by [[John Gray (locomotive engineer)|John Gray]] who set out to improve efficiency and increase the pressure in shorter boilers using single drivers instead of coupled wheels. His ideas led to the design of the highly successful [[Jenny Lind locomotive]].<br />
<br />
The long boiler design with coupled wheels continued for slower heavier work. A total of 192 NER 1001 class locomotives were built from 1852 by a number of private manufacturers, as well as the NER's own works at [[Darlington railway works|Darlington]] and [[Shildon railway works|Shildon]].<br />
<br />
The small size of the firebox would seem remarkable in later years, but the engines were ideal where trains might spend long periods standing, waiting for a path, or when shunting. A minimum amount of fuel would have delivered sufficient heat to the large boiler to start heavy loads.<br />
<br />
The last ten NER 1001s were delivered in 1875. Many were rebuilt in the following twenty five years. The last was withdrawn in 1923. <br />
<br />
Having travelled an official mileage of {{convert|908,984|mi|km}}, locomotive number 1275 is preserved at the [[National Railway Museum]] in [[York]].<br />
