Looking for information on Henry Tennant (NER)

[richard]

Whilst searching for a new locomotive superintendent in 1885, the NER created a couple of locomotives by committee. The locomotives that survived into LNER ownership were given the classifications of E5 (2-4-0) and J74 (0-6-0T).

The committee was headed by the NER's General Manager, Henry Tennant, so I think this qualifies him to having a page in my Engineers section. However my sources are not producing much information.

I'm looking for the type of bio information I have on my other pages, and a picture would be great although that might be hard to find.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Richard

I've added a page for Henry Tennant although it is clearly a bit thin!

I've also added one for Alexander McDonnell, which is similarly a bit on the thin side:

The days of McDonnell and Tennant sound to have been an 'interesting' time for the NER

Still on the look out for information about these two...

Thanks. In the past two years I've managed to find some information (the McDonnell page had a further update a week or two ago). If there's further info in the book about any of the NER CMEs, I'd be interested...
