I have started a new collection featuring LNER miscellaneous designs
This first collection features LNER Class Y1 and Y3 0-4-0T Sentinel Shunters
The LNER Class Y1 was a class of 0-4-0 geared steam locomotives built by Sentinel Waggon Works for the London and North Eastern Railway and introduced in 1925. They passed into British Railways ownership in 1948 and were numbered 68130-68153
The LNER Class Y3 was a class of 0-4-0 geared steam locomotives built by Sentinel Waggon Works for the London and North Eastern Railway and introduced in 1927. They passed into British Railways ownership in 1948 and were numbered 68154-68185.

Re: Sentinal locos of the LNER
I have started a new collection featuring LNER miscellaneous designs
This collection features LNER The Y10 (Sentinel D.E.D.G.) "Super Sentinel" Tram Engines
During the 1920s, the LNER had much success with steam railcars and shunters built by the Sentinel Company. Hence, in November 1929, the LNER ordered two 200hp double-engine double-geared (D.E.D.G type) Sentinel tram engines for the Wisbech & Upwell Tramway. To comply with regulations for this tramway, they were fitted with cow-catchers and protective side skirts. These were delivered in June 1930, and numbered 8403 & 8404.
These strange engines had a cab at each end. Two standard Sentinel 2-cylinder locomotive engines were at the rear, partly housed in the rear cab. The vertical boiler was located in the front cab, and the water tank was located in the middle. Both cabs had controls, enabling the locomotive to be operated from either end. Unlike the other Sentinel shunters owned by the LNER, coal was fed in near the bottom of the boiler (below the main water space), and not the top.
At the Wisbech & Upwell, it was found that the heavy loads of the fruit season placed a heavy burden on the Y10s. Working flat out, they exhibited excessive coal consumption, and emitted sparks. Hence they were both transferred within a year.
Between December 1930 and February 1931, 8403 ran trials at Ipswich. Three months later (May 1931), both engines were moved to Yarmouth to work the old quayside line. After leaving the Wisbech & Upwell, the cow-catchers were removed from both locomotives.
In February 1934, 9404 was transferred to Kittybrewster (Aberdeen) for more dock work. This was followed by a spell at Leonard's Yard (Edinburgh), before returning to Yarmouth in May 1934.
Due to war-time hazards at East Coast ports, both Y10s were evacuated to Norwich in May 1940. They returned during the following November, and stayed at Yarmouth until withdrawal.
Both Y10s survived into British Railways ownership, although 8187 was withdrawn almost immediately. 8186 was withdrawn in February 1952. 8186 was never officially renumbered to 68186, (Info from LNER Encyclopedia)
