0-6-0T Class J50 LNER Profile and Models

0-6-0T Class J50 LNER

68973 at Doncaster Locomotive Depot in April 1949. © Ben Brooksbank

The GNR produced a large fleet of Class J23 locomotives (later reclassified to J50 by the LNER) for use on short-haul coal traffic and shunting. Their unusual design featured long side tanks that came to the front of the smokebox and sloped down to improve visibility - they were nicknamed “Submarines” due to this. The class plied their trade in the North East for many years and survived in BR usage right up to the mid 1960s.
