| "Designed by TW Worsdell the GER Class Y14 (LNER Class J15) was his solution to the lack of suitable freight locomotives available on the Doncaster route The first Y14s were built in July 1883 and they became the Great Eastern Railway&8217;s most common locomotive type with a total of 259 being built in 27 batches The secret of their success was their simple design and in 1891 the Great Eastern Railway set the world record for erecting a steam locomotive No 930 being assembled at Stratford in just 9 hours and 45 minutes Hauling both freight and passenger stock and with a very low axle loading they could run virtually anywhere on the Great Eastern&8217;s network"

| "In order to cope with the steadily increasing weight of express passenger traffic on the Southern Railway in the early years of Grouping Richard Maunsell the Chief Mechanical Officer needed a locomotive that was more powerful than the King Arthur class but one that would still conform to the various gauging and weight issues within the region and still be capable of hauling 500 ton trains at a speed of 55mphThe new Lord Nelson design had to fit within the profile of the King Arthur class and having previously used a Drummond four cylinder locomotive as a test bed Maunsell altered the positions of the cranks on the Lord Nelson design to give eight exhaust pulses per revolution rather than four"
