NER Class E1
From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere
The North Eastern Railway Class E1, classified as Class J72 by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) is a class of small 0-6-0T steam locomotives designed for shunting.
They were a development of the NER Class E (LNER Class J71) 0-6-0T designed by T.W. Worsdell, by T.W.Worsdell's brother Wilson Worsdell.
The first twenty were built at Darlington Works in 1920, and Armstrong Whitworth & Co delivered 25 more in 1922. Ten more were built at Doncaster Works in 1925. A further 28 more were built by British Railways after nationalisation in the period 1949-1951.
