TheNorth Eastern RailwayClass T2, classified asClass Q6 by theLNER, is a class of0-8-0steam locomotive designed for heavy freight, especially for hauling long coal trains to various collieries in the North Eastern region of the UK, with a maximum speed of 40 miles per hour.^[1][2] 120 were built atDarlington Works andArmstrong Whitworth between 1913 and 1921 to the design ofVincent Raven, based on theNER Class T and T1 (LNER Q5). The batch of fifty built by Armstrong Whitworth from 1919 were A-W's first locomotives to be built, after the conversion of theirScotswood works from ordnance to peacetime production.^[3]

All passed intoBritish Railways ownership in 1948 and they were numbered63340-63459.

63372 was withdrawn in 1960 after an accident. General withdrawals were from 1963 to 1967. 63395 has survived into preservation.

One, 2238 (LNER 1946 number 3395; BR 63395) has survived to preservation on theNorth Yorkshire Moors Railway. It is owned by theNorth Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group (NELPG), who purchased fromHughes Bolckow scrapyard in 1967, and was withdrawn from service in January 2017 to await boiler overhaul. This overhaul was completed in September 2018, with the locomotive being completed just in time to visit theSevern Valley Railway for their Autumn Steam Gala.^[4][5][6][7]

In May 2023, 63395 suffered a cylinder failure while departing from Grosmont with a train, causing major damage.^{[citation needed]}
