GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND ENGINES (1883 - 1890)
James Manson succeeded Cowan and soon designed a side-tank engine, the only six-coupled type to be owned by the Great North and the first in the country to have cabs fitted with side doors. Nine were delivered in two batches by Kitson & Co in 1884-5, the Class E model being slightly larger and heavier. Although designed for shunting and banking duties, the engines served on the Aberdeen suburban services and short runs on the main line and Alford branch. In 1903 no 8 was fitted with front and rear cow-catchers and worked the St Combs light railway. Latterly they were used for shunting at Kittybrewster and on the Waterloo branch.

Manson's O Class engines were designed to meet the needs of a system coping with increasing traffic and the demand for faster trains. They were built by Kitson & Co in 1888. Two engines from the class survived long enough to be included in the LNER's 1946 renumbering scheme.
