Hill's Class D81 (LNER J20) is usually considered the ultimate in traditional Great Eastern Railway (GER) goods engine design. The GER already had forty two ROD 2-8-0 (LNER O4) locomotives on loan from the Government working on the Cambridge line.

The LNER 'J' 0-6-0 Locomotives: J1 - J20. The 0-6-0 wheel arrangement was by far the most numerous used by the LNER. It was used mainly for locomotives intended for freight, branch, and shunting work. If any single type epitomises the British steam locomotive from the mid-19th Century, it is the inside-cylinder 0-6-0 tender loco.

The LNER 'J' 0-6-0 Locomotives: J50 - J70 and Diesels. Due to the large numbers of different 0-6-0 types, they have been split into four indexes: The 0-6-0 Tender Locomotive Classes J1 - J20, can be found here. The 0-6-0 Tender Locomotive Classes J21 - J41, can be found here. The 0-6-0 Tank Locomotive Classes J71 - J94, can be found here

The NBR J Class (LNER Classes D29 & D30), commonly known as the Scott class, were a class of 4-4-0 steam tender locomotives designed by William P. Reid for the North British Railway. They passed to the London and North Eastern Railway at the grouping in 1923.

The GER Class D81 was a class of twenty-five 0-6-0 steam locomotives designed by A. J. Hill for the Great Eastern Railway. The all passed to the London and North Eastern Railway at the 1923 grouping and received the classification J20 .

A number of different numbering and classification schemes were used for the locomotives owned by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) and its constituent companies. This page explains the principal systems that were used.

Mar 24, 2021 · LNER Class J20 This 1920 GER Class D81 design by Hill was re-classified as Class J20 by the LNER. 25 had been built in 3 batches at Stratford works. The 0-6-0 Class 5 freight engines were then rebuilt between 1943 and 1956.

Retained belpair boiler, had shorter than normal chimney.
