The LYR Class 28 "Hughes", is a type of rebuilt 0-6-0 steam locomotive of the Lancashire and Yorkshire's Class 27 designed by Aspinall Locomotive Works in Great Britain of the UK during the 1920s.
They often operated short freight and passenger trains, and were occasionally used on branch lines or as switchers or shunters. They were eventually retired during 1950s.
The "Hughes" Class has added a Belpaire firebox and extended the footplate and sandbox as opposed to the original Class 27. This locomotive or engine, the first of the series from the Horwich works (March, 1912), was fitted with a Schmidt superheater.
Very few were built, and only two are preserved.
