The LNWR 17in Coal Engine was a class of 0-6-0 steam tender engines designed by Francis Webb for the London and North Western Railway. They were simple locomotives and in UK service they were very reliable. 17in refers to their cylinder diameter in inches. They were called Coal Engines because they were used for hauling coal trains.
