The Castles handled all but the heaviest loads, these being entrusted to the 30-strong King Class, themselves a development of the Castles with an even larger boiler and smaller wheels (6ft 6 in diameter) for both increased tractive effort and to allow for loading gauge clearance. Their pre-eminence lasted until 1922, when Nigel Gresley's first Pacific was completed at Doncaster for the Great Northern Railway, which was soon to become part of the London and North Eastern.
