This class appeared as a natural development of the very successful D2 class of mixed traffic locos, and was effectively the precursor to the famous
“Gladstone” class, in which Stroudley made some significant changes to items within his standardisation policy, in such details as front buffer beam height and depth, wider footplate, multi-valve crosshead pump, steel frames instead of iron, and steam wheel flange lubrication.
They were:-
208 Richmond 209 Devonshire
210 Cornwall (later 610 Belgravia in Oct 1901)
211 Beaconsfield (Cavendish fr Nov 1885)
212 Hartington 213 Norfolk
No 611 “Cavendish” (formerly 211/511 “Beaconsfield” with inside frame tender
All were outshopped with the outside frame tender (see tender pages as one of my products) and all were later given the inside frame tender, as issued to the Gladstones, and the later batch of D2’s.
Numbering changes occurred from 2XX to 5XX series in 1897, and again to 6XX in 1900/01
No 208 “Richmond” with inside frame tender, and unique brake gear - also included as an option in the kit
