LNER, W1 Class, 4-6-4, 10000 'Hush Hush' With Steam Generator - Era 3
Among the big announcements, is the arrival of a Hush Hush with steam generator. Hot on the heels of the P2, which was the first to launch with the technology – you can watch our video of the LNER Class P2 2-8-2 Prince of Wales No. 2007 with steam generator put to the test here.
Adding to the rise of modern locomotive innovation, the Class W1 No. 10000 ‘Hush Hush’ is installed with a steam generator, which provides the ability to produce great clouds of water vapour, which will billow through the locomotive’s chimney.

Each van measured at 41ft 11in over headstocks and included a wheelbase of 29ft 6in, with the batch able to carry about 31t as a load.
