In 1913 an initial design for [[L&YR 2-10-0 (Hughes)|a four-cylinder 2-10-0]] of {{convert|53328|lbf|-3}} [[tractive effort]] was produced by the [[Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway]], but none were built. This had been inspired by Jean-Baptiste Flamme's {{illm|Type 36 (SNCB)|fr}} 2-10-0s working in Belgium and used a similar tapered boiler, with the round-topped firebox almost filling the loading gauge.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Locomotives That Never Were |first=Robin |last=Barnes |year=1985 |publisher=[[Jane's]] |isbn=0-7106-0326-6 |chapter=L&YR Hughes 2-10-0 |pages=24β25 }}</ref> The [[WD Austerity 2-10-0|first 2-10-0]] was built during the Second World War, as a variant of the "Austerity" 2-8-0 for lightly built railways.{{sfnp|Boddy|Brown|Neve|Yeadon|1983|p=147}} The only other 2-10-0 type was the 251-strong [[BR Standard Class 9F|Standard class 9F]] introduced by [[British Railways]] in 1954.{{sfnp|Walford|Harrison|2008|p=76}} The class included [[BR standard class 9F 92220 Evening Star|92220 ''Evening Star'']], the last steam locomotive built for British Railways, in 1960;{{sfnp|Walford|Harrison|2008|p=206}} and 92203 (named ''Black Prince'' when preserved), which in 1983 set a record for the heaviest steam locomotive-hauled train in Britain when it started a 2,162-ton train at [[Foster Yeoman]] quarry in Somerset.{{sfn |Shepherd |1983 |p=256}} {{Clear}}
