The H&BR Class F3 (LNER Class N13) was a class of 0-6-2T steam locomotives of the Hull and Barnsley Railway. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] They were designed by Matthew Stirling to work goods trains to and from the King George Dock at Hull which opened in 1914.

The M.Stirling N13 (H&BR Class F3) 0-6-2T Locomotives. The King George Dock at Hull opened in 1914. A joint project between the Hull & Barnsley Railway (H&BR) and the North Eastern Railway (NER), the docks resulted in a need for more H&BR locomotives.

The NER had 13 electric lomotives, numbered 1-13, but this was in fact in the company's main locomotive list as the lowest-numbered steam locomotive was numbered 14. The NBR owned a petrol shunter, and this was numbered '1' in its own series.

Four Class F3 0-6-2T (LNER N13) locomotives were built in 1913, followed by a further six during the next year. Nine of these engines survived to Nationalisation (1948). BR No. 69114 was the last H&BR locomotive working in the BR period. It was withdrawn from Leeds Neville Hill in 1956.

The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) produced several classes of locomotive, mostly to the designs of Nigel Gresley, characterised by a three-cylinder layout with a parallel boiler and round-topped firebox.

The 0-6-2T configuration was a versatile type with designs for suburban workings as well as freight and shunting. The LNER acquired 529 examples at Grouping (1923) - more than any other tank type other than the 0-6-0T - contributed by each of its seven major constituent companies apart from the GNSR.

The H&BR Class F3 (LNER Class N13) was a class of 0-6-2T steam locomotives of the Hull and Barnsley Railway. They were designed by Matthew Stirling to work goods trains to and from the King George Dock at Hull which opened in 1914. They were not fitted with vacuum brakes so they were not suitable for passenger work.
