The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Class 28 was a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive, designed by George Hughes for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR). It was a redesign of Aspinall's Class 27, with the addition of a superheater. The class consisted of both newly built locomotives as well as rebuilt Class 27 locomotives.
