990 Henry Oakley, GNR Small Atlantic ("Klondike")

Built at Doncaster in 1898 at a cost of £2,522, No. 990 was the first 4-4-2 Atlantic tender locomotive in Britain. She was named after Henry Oakley, general manager of the Great Northern Railway, and was the only named engine on the GNR until Gresley's Pacifics appeared in 1922.

She was withdrawn from Lincoln shed in October 1937 having run some 1,296,000 miles. Restored to Great Northern livery, she was placed in the LNER's museum at York in January 1938 and forms part of the National Collection. She has steamed several times since preservation and is now a static exhibit at the National Railway Museum.

Location and status last confirmed National Railway Museum, York, August 2026. Subject to verification.
