It doesn't look that way I'm afraid.

Sorry no N8s or N10s survived, a lot of these two classes were concentrated in major Industrial locations during a motive power shuffle at the begining of WW2.

Hi, to whet your appetite N10 No.1667 outside Alnmouth shed circa 1920s. This loco was withdrawn in 1956 after 54 years of service.

Ay up!
A potential replica? What a useful engine for Stainmore!

I believe originally these were a variant of the NERs 0-6-0T locos used originally for short goods workings. I will peruse relevant chapters in the bath this evening and report back.

I hope you're talking in model terms. As we only have one J72 left, and I don't think the NELPG would appreciate it being chopped up.

J72 is too small in body and wheels

They were used on part of the line the current Tanfield Railway runs on, I think from recollection 2 were shedded at Bowes Bridge where the turntable pit is still in exsistence. I've seen a few pictures of N10's climbing up towards the site of Andrews House from Causey Woods. I can't think of a better reason to recreate an N10 (or maybe even 2) than to replicate that run with train of coal waggons.

The N10s were the tank engine version of the J25 0-6-0s. They shared many parts including boiler and wheel diameter. They were a smaller wheeled vesion of the N8s and N9s, and these were derived from the J21 0-6-0s.

Good looking loco that. It would be ideal for preserved railways too.
