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

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.
