Preserved 68846

The Great Northern Railway (GNR) Class J13, classified by J52 by the LNER is a class of 0-6-0ST steam locomotive intended primarily for shunting.

The Class J13 were introduced in 1897 designed by Henry Ivatt based on the earlier domeless GNR Class J14. 85 were built until 1909. Several J14s were rebuilt as J13s from 1922.

The LNER reclassified them J52. They also introduced two subclasses, J52/1 for the rebuilt engines and J52/2 for the originals.

One, 8846 was privately preserved by Bill Smith in 1959 and became the first locomotive to be privately preserved from BR. In 1980 it was donated to the National Railway Museum. It is expected that the locomotive will bear its original GNR Livery.
