The LNER Encyclopedia

I have added over 40 early photos of N.E.R. locos

I am looking for help with the class of loco, where built and if known designer

Many thanks in advance

Looks like you have some captions already. The Bouch Long Boiler has a Worsdell boiler - most were rebuilt like this. Considering when photography became common, most photos also have the Worsdell boiler. note also the valves were changed from Salter to Ramsbottom, and standard NER buffers have been fitted. (Contrast with 1275 at the NRM - this has a Worsdell boiler but original S&D/Bouch fittings)

The tender cab is interesting. I'd have to look up the number, but it looks like it was allocated to an exposed location. They were famously used at Rosedale late in their lives, so this is a possibility?


E22 looks like an 'original'. If not a 1001 class, then one of the other later S&D engines. Standardisation was still wishful thinking

You've got a couple of GC locos in there - J12 and N5 - and the last one is a GNR 'Long Tom'.

And the NER 0-4-0 side tank, is a Worsdell LNER Y7. Usually used for works or harbour shunting.

1035 is a 1068 class 2-4-0
118 is a 120 class 0-6-0
1113 is an ex Londonderry railway 2-4-0
987 is a 398 class 0-6-0
75 is either an ex YN&BR 2-4-0 or the 1863 rebuild of said loco
519 should be an H class 0-4-0 but i think that loco is a 93 class 0-6-0T
6425 not NER
85 is a 13 class 0-6-0
1668 i think i have another pic of this loco with info will cone back to you.
534 i think is another 13 class 0-6-0
1162 single loco built by the NER at Darlington
unclear
S&DR union class or better known as 1001 class just built after naming was discontinued.
691 is a Beyer Peacock built 686 class 2-4-0
16 is a C class 0-6-0 built 1886
257 is a 25 class 2-4-0
1662 need my book with NER renumbering possibly ex YN&BR
2252??????
1166 is an 11 class 2-4-0
609 an interesting one this is the 0-6-0 version of the BTP class 0-4-4WT, classed as 124 class by the NER
?????
231 ah ha i know a bit about this one ex YN&BR 0-6-0 by Wilsons of Leeds a few more were built under the NER and classed as 13 class.
73 unclassed 0-6-0ST
1771 loco renumbered into the duplicate list
1358 is a 1350 class 0-6-0ST sold out of service as Cramlington Coal Company No.4 and later Hartley Main No.10
3403 not NER possbly GNR Long Tom.

Here endeth the first session arguments and discussion welcome. once any arguments have been sorted i will send you a pm Neil with the details you asked for.

6425 is a GCR J12, 'Bulldog'.
