I spent 2 or 3 months trying to complete this. I know I'm not losing the touch here, it's just maybe I need to realign my priorities (?), or this is just a major dip in locomotive production that'll later crank up again...
--------------------------------------------------
The H-2 class was the second line of Mikados built at Reading, Harlech, Metropolitan Oceanic.

The engines were a part of a variety of freight engines that Oceanic Railways commissioned from an array of home-based locomotive works. The class was built from 1915 to 1926, being exported to nearly every location Oceanic had a railway, eventually topping up to roughly 354 built.

This number made it the most numerous of Oceanic's motive power built, though inevitably there were always larger mikados and engines built. The last one that operated in regular service was roughly around 1999, giving the class a working life of about 84 years. A not often talked about testament to a class that was always in the background.
