Together with some rebuilt examples of GER Class R24, they passed to the London and North Eastern Railway at the grouping in 1923, and received the LNER classification J69. The Class S56 were a development of the Class R24, being almost identical, apart from higher boiler pressure and larger water tanks.

Class J69 was used for the R24 Rebuilt and S56 locomotives. During the 1920s, the LNER converted 59 of the J69s to be shunting locomotives by removing the condensing gear (if any), and fitting lever reverse gear. Steam brakes were also fitted although many locomotives kept their vacuum ejectors.

They passed to the London and North Eastern Railway at the grouping in 1923 and received the LNER classification J67. Some R24s were rebuilt with higher boiler pressure in which form they were similar to the later Class S56. The rebuilt R24s, together with …

These wonderful J67, J68 and J69 models feature a diecast boiler and chassis for added weight, factory fitted brake rigging, a fully detailed cab with magnetic roof and sliding ventilator, flickering firebox glow, full sound provision with twin sugarcube speakers on DCC sound fitted model and powerful coreless motor wi

2023年3月17日 · LNER J69 No. 359 came from an earlier batch of ten locomotives built at Stratford in 1892 and was rebuilt in 1904 into the R24r Class, gaining new safety valves, a new boiler design and 1180 gallon side tanks, but retaining the original narrow cab and coal bunker.

2023年3月17日 · The LNER took the step of classifying those locomotives with 180lb boilers as J69s, while those with 160lb boilers were classed as J67s. The C72s, although virtually identical, were classed separately as J68s. And this is where it gets rather more complicated and is what makes creating a tooling suite for the J67/J68/J69s a very complex project.

LNER J69 No. 359 – LNER Lined Black. LNER J69 No. 359 came from an earlier batch of ten locomotives built at Stratford in 1892 and was rebuilt in 1904 into the R24r Class, gaining new safety valves, a new boiler design and 1180 gallon side tanks, but retaining the original narrow cab and coal bunker.

After the Grouping, the LNER classified the locomotives with 180lb boilers as J69s, and those with 160lb boilers as J67s. No.87, which our exclusive OO-gauge model depicts, is the only preserved example of the J69 Class, and is currently on loan to the Bressingham Steam Museum.
