The Ivatt J2 (GNR Class J21) 0-6-0 Locomotives. Shortly before Ivatt's retirement in 1911 from the Great Northern Railway (GNR), there was an urgent need for further fast freight locomotives to haul fast braked goods trains. Ivatt solved this need by adapting his 1911 J6 goods design. This design used the same superheated boiler, cylinders, and ...

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 …

The GNR Ivatt Class 1 0-6-0 (LNER Class J1) was a class of fifteen inside-cylinder 0-6-0s designed for express goods work. They were Henry Ivatt's first original class of 0-6-0. Ivatt had previously designed a modified version of Patrick Stirling's J5 Class of 1873.

British Railways continued to build LNER designs (the B1 and L1 classes in particular) immediately after Nationalisation. Remarkably, it even built a new series of shunting locomotives (J72 class) to a pre-Grouping design (of the North Eastern Railway).

The most recent NER goods engines were the unsatisfactory McDonnell LNER class J22. T W Worsdell had recently designed the successful J15 goods locomotive for the Great Eastern Railway, and his new design for the NER, the Class C (LNER J21), had a …

Sturrock 400 Class 0-6-0 Ivatt J3 (with 24″ stroke cyls) or J2 (26″). The engines gradually received Stirling boilers, initially 4′-0½” diam. then 4′-2½” after 1878. Full details of changes are not available as repair details only survive for relatively few engines.

In 1908 Mr. Ivatt introduced a new class of six-coupled goods tender engines, with wheels of exceptionally large diameter, 5-ft. 8-in. These engines are, in respect to their boilers, cylinders, motion and wheels, practically interchangeable with the 0-6-2 suburban tank locomotives of the “190” class, and were intended to work…

Mar 4, 2020 · The engines were fitted with vacuum braking like the saturated type and were intended for fast freight and for secondary passenger duties. The class became LNER J2 and was withdrawn between 1946 and 1954. Express goods engines. Locomotive Mag., …

The LNER 'J' 0-6-0 Locomotives: J21 - J41. 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 Tank & Diesel Locomotive Classes J45 - J70, can be found here. The 0-6-0 Tank Locomotive Classes J71 - J94, can be found here

Saturated engines Nos. 1-15 became LNER J1. Superheated engines Nos. 71-80 became LNER J2
