ENR Standard Class 2
The Etorean National Railway (ENR) Standard Class 2 is a class of 0-6-0T tank engines built for shunting and local trains. They represent the ultimate development of the various locomotive classes of the same type built for the various predecessors of the ENR.
In 1921, the ENR surveyed the various classes of 0-6-0T tank engines they head inherited from the companies that predated them this involved sending an example of the class to the nearest works aswell as obtaining the drawings for the class that had been produced as schematics. By the spring of 1923, this process had been completed and designs began to be drawn up for the new standard class 2. The Standard 2s had 4 ft 7 in driving wheels with a wheelbase of 16 ft 6 in, making them excellent shunting locomotives with a high fuel capacity to match leading them to excell on local services (both passenger and freight). The Standard Class 2s began being built at the former NER's works at Sandford.
