Production Details:
One of just ten examples of the J52 (formerly GNR
J13) built by Robert Stephenson & Co at its works in
Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Originally numbered 1225, after the Grouping it was
repainted and received the LNER number 4225 in November 1926, which
remained until the LNER’s renumbering scheme of 1946, when it became No.
8824 and, subsequently BR No. 68824. The locomotive lasted in service
until May 1959, a creditable 60 years in traffic. The LNER’s standard
goods and shunting locomotive livery of plain black with red-shaded
lettering and numerals decorates the model, which also has its builder’s
plate on the bunker sides. Technical Specification: ● Item Length:
