The Ivatt J5 (GNR Class J22) 0-6-0 Locomotives. Ivatt built these twenty medium-powered goods locomotives in 1909-10, to meet the increasing goods and coal traffic being experienced by the Great Northern Railway (GNR) at that time.

The GNR Class J5 was based on the GNR Class J7 0-6-0 tender engines designed by Patrick Stirling, thirty-five of which were built at Doncaster between 1867 and 1873, these had cylinders of 24 in (610 mm) stroke and domeless boilers of 4 ft 0 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1.232 m) diameter.

The Stirling and Ivatt J3 & J4 (GNR Classes J4 & J5) 0-6-0 Locomotives. The history of the LNER J3 and J4 locomotives is complicated, and starts with Stirling's Great Northern Railway (GNR) Class J7. Thirty five J7s were built between 1867 and 1873.
