Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class J / D24 (Locobase 7479)

Data from "Hull & Barnsley Railway", Locomotive, Volume 17 (15 February 1911), p. 27. See also Richard Marsden's online LNER Encyclopedia ([link], accessed 4 March 2006) and Mike Parkes' LNER classes website [link], accessed 5 March 2006.

These were Matthew Stirling engines originally produced for the small H & B to pull passenger trains on the Hull to Sheffield lines.

The last was withdrawn in 1934.
