GN steam power

Did Great Northern ever have steam engines with smoke deflectors? I am pretty sure the answer is no, but I wanted to ask.

No.

See, you were right.

Thanks AB. One of the toy train manufacturers is offering a Berkshire with smoke deflectors decorated for GN. I didn't think GN had an engine like that, but I am not an expert on GN steam being a southerner.

GN never had deflectors, nor a Berkshire.
