The North Eastern Railway Class T2, later known as the "Class Q6" under the LNER, were a fleet of 0-8-0 steam locomotives designed by Vincent Raven for use on heavy freight services. They were particularly used for hauling long coal trains from the collieries in the North Eastern region of the UK at a maximum speed of 40mph.
