It was intended for heavy suburban trains around London and 36 locomotives were built by Sharp Stewart and Company and Nasmyth, Wilson and Company between 1880 and 1892. Adams later developed the type into his successful suburban 415 class for the London and South Western Railway. The LT&SR continued to build tank locomotives after 1897, with the Class 37, Class 51 and Class 79. Henry Ivatt of the Great Northern Railway (GNR) also built sixty Class C2 tank locomotives between 1898 and 1907, for use on local and commuter trains in Yorkshire and North London. During the first decade of the twentieth century, the Atlantic tank locomotive became very popular in the United Kingdom. The Great Central Railway’s Class 9K and Class 9L were built between 1903 and 1907. They later became the LNER classes C13 and C14. The Great Western Railway’s 2221 Class was built between 1905 and 1912. The London and North Western Railway’s Precursor Tank Class was built between 1906 and 1909. Four classes were introduced by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway, the I1 class, I2 class, I3 class and I4 class. Tender locomotives Following Henry Ivatt’s GNR Class C1 Klondyke Atlantic of 1898 and John Aspinall's L&YR Class 7 High-Flyer, of which forty were built between 1899 and 1902, a lot of interest was shown in the Atlantic type by British railways during the first decade of the twentieth century, especially for express passenger train service. Between 1902 and 1908, Ivatt built eighty larger boilered versions of his GNR Class C1, which were known as the Large Boiler Class C1. These remained in service until the early 1950s. In 1903, for use in comparative trials against his own designs, George Jackson Churchward of the Great Western Railway (GWR) purchased three French De Glehn compound s, beginning with the GWR no. 102 La France and followed by two larger locomotives in 1905. Fourteen members of his two-cylinder 2900 Saint class locomotives were subsequently either built or rebuilt with this wheel arrangement, including one four-cylinder GWR 4000 Star class, no. 40 North Star. All of these were later rebuilt to a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement. Wilson Worsdell of the North Eastern Railway (NER) designed his classes V and 4CC between 1903 and 1906, while his successor on the NER, Vincent Raven, introduced his V/09 and NER Class Z classes between 1910 and 1917. By 1918, however, the
