GNSR Classes S and T

what is it?

The GNSR Classes S and T is a type of 4-4-0 steam locomotive built by Neilson and Company for the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNSR). The class consisted of two similar GNSR classes: 'S' (introduced in 1893 and designed by James Johnson) and 'T' (introduced in 1895 and designed by William Pickersgill). The two classes were similar but with detail differences to the boiler.
