EspañolJ. G. ROBINSON
'John George Robinson' was chief mechanical engineer of the Great Central Railway from 1900 to 1922. Prior to this, he designed locomotives for the Waterford and Limerick Railway (between 1884 and 1900).
Robinson's famous 2-8-0 freight locomotive was introduced in 1911 and many more were built for the British Army Railway Operating Division in 1917.
Two Robinson-designed locomotives are preserved in the UK:
★ 4-4-0 ''Improved Director'' GCR Class 11F No. 506 ''Butler-Henderson'' (Later BR No. 62660), preserved at the National Railway Museum, York.
★ 2-8-0 GCR Class 8K No. 102 (Later BR No. 63601), also owned by the National Railway Museum and on loan to the Great Central Railway (preserved).
