LDS049. BR Class J72 0-6-0 Tank Loco No. 69024. In plain BR black with late crest. To a North Eastern Railway Worsdell design. This is from a DJH whitemetal and brass kit and fitted with a Mashima or similar motor, worm and wheel drive, Slaters wheels and with excellent cab detail and driver. The model has had medium use. The prototype was into service from Darlington Works in April 1951 to Blaydon and was withdrawn from Gateshead in September 1963. The remarkable fact about this class was that they were built to the same NER design in 9 batches over 53 years from 1898 to 1951, this model coming from the final batch. PRICE REDUCTION TO £295.
