M. Stirling locos of the Hull & Barnsley Railway

I have added a new collection of photos featuring M. Stirling designs of the Hull & Barnsley Railway
This collection features the Class J28 (H&BR Class L,L1,LS) 0-6-0 Locomotives.
These 0-6-0s were the last of a long series of 0-6-0 locomotives ordered by the Hull & Barnsley Railway (H&BR), and were essentially a larger and more modern version of the earlier Class B (LNER J23) locomotives. The 5ft boiler diameter was retained from the later J23, but both the boiler and firebox were extended by 1ft. The cylinders were also increased from 18in to 19in diameter. A total of twenty J23s were built between 1911 and 1915 in four batches of five each. The first two batches were designated class L1 and were built by Kitson & Co in 1911-2. These were followed by the class L locomotives which were built by the Yorkshire Engine Co in 1914. These engines were slightly heavier and used a different valve motion arrangement. Kitson & Co. built the final batch in 1915. These last five engines were based on the class L locomotives but were fitted with Schmidt superheaters, and given the designation of class LS.
All photos featured are in the LNER era
