After the grouping both the Class X and Class Y became LNER Class Z5. This was changed in 1927 when the Class X was redesignated LNER Class Z4. [2]

The Z4 (GNSR X) Manning Wardle 0-4-2T Shunters From its formation, the GNSR wanted to use locomotives to work traffic at Aberdeen Docks, but the Harbour Commissioners would only allow horse haulage. In 1915, an agreement was made and the GNSR purchased two locomotives (class Z5) from Manning, Wardle & Co to work the docks.

0-4-2 'Z' Locomotives of the LNER There is some evidence that the LNER initially reserved the letter 'Z' for miscellaneous locomotives. Z1 and Z2 were probably reserved for two GNR departmental locomotives, and Z3 was kept as a spare. Z4 was then allocated to the three GER Stratford 0-6-0T crane engines, and Z5 was used for two types of GNSR 0 ...

The Z4 / J92 Crane Tanks These long-lived tank engines were the oldest tank engines in the LNER's service, and managed to survive into BR ownership. Five engines were built by Ruston & Proctor in 1868 for the GER. Originally ordered by Johnson as simple tank engines, they were rebuilt by Bromley in 1881.

The earlier pair became LNER Class Z5 and the later pair were Class Z4. This locomotive was built by Manning, Wardle & Co. in 1915 and continued in service until 1959, when it was withdrawn as BR No. 68191.

The two classes were similar, and were used throughout their lives to shunt on the docks at Aberdeen. They passed to the London and North Eastern Railway at the 1923 grouping, and received the LNER classification Z5. The Class X were later reclassified Z4.

Heywood's only design for the GNoSR was a small group of 4-4-0s virtually identical to Pickersgill's V Class engines - and the LNER used the same classification for them. The first six were constructed by NBL and numbered 47-50, 52 and 54. Two more were built at Inverurie and numbered 45 and 46.

The class X were later reclassified Z4. When the Aberdeen Harbour Commissioners finally agreed to allow steam locomotives to replace horses on the Aberdeen docks, the GNoSR purchased two 0-4-2T locomotives from Manning Wardle for the purpose.

2004年2月15日 · Ordered for the Aberdeen Docks, these waggon-bashers weighed in at 2 tons over specifications, which prompted an order for the pair later known as Z4 (see Locobase 5898 ).
