The GER Class 209 (LNER Class Y5) was a class of 0-4-0 saddle tank steam locomotives of the Great Eastern Railway. These locomotives were similar to the NBR G Class but had flat-topped, instead of round-topped, tanks.

The Y5 (GER 209) Neilson Co 0-4-0 Shunters Eight of these small locomotives were built for the GER by Neilson & Co. The first four were built in 1874 for shunting in the goods yard at Devonshire Street and at Canning Town.

This locomotive is a member of what became the LNER Y5 class. The first locomotive of the class was built in 1874 by Neilson & Co who built eight 0-4-0ST locomotives to this design until 1903. One (68081) survived to be taken in BR stock but was withdrawn from service in …

Despite the longevity typical of such locos and the arrival of the diesel alternative, some British 0-4-0Ts were built as late as 1953 (to an LMS design). The LNER acquired some 77 examples from the five larger constituents (including seven tram locos).

The Class Y locomotives were intended for hauling coal trains and were developed from the NER Class X (LNER Class T1) 4-8-0T heavy shunters. However, they had larger boilers and smaller cylinders for higher working speeds.

Three bunker types are accommodated in the kit, which follows our usual spec - big motor with high-reduction bespoke gearbox (all completely concealed) full cab detail, lots of lost wax, fully illustrated and easy-to-follow instructions.
