S&DJR Class 3F "Jinty" 0-6-0 "20" (R30316)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
The 3F 'Jinty' was an LMS tank engine inspired by the design of a Midland Railway designed tank engine. Henry Fowler saw potential in the Midland Railway 2441 Class which itself would prove so dependable that they would last in service until 1966. The Jinty was a simple design with inside cylinders and belpaire firebox that allowed the locomotive to reach up to 60mph. Locomotives were fitted with steam heating for working short passenger trains, which was a far cry from their initial brief as a shunting engine.
The 3F would be the main shunting and tank engine of the LMS and would find itself serving all over the UK when the class came into the ownership of BR in 1948. The Jintys would prove to be useful engines even after larger freight engines would be introduced with some examples lasting until 1967 in service. 9 examples of the class have been preserved including the last to be withdrawn.
An iconic user of the 3F class was the fairly unique Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. The SDJR became a part of the LMS in 1923 when the grouping act came into effect however it would not have its identity absorbed into that of the LMS. The SDJR would run its locomotives in either its time honoured 'Prussian Blue' livery with SDJR lettering or SDJR Black. The SDJR took delivery of seven examples of the locomotive in 1928. These locomotives would only stay at the railway for a couple of years, being absorbed into the LMSR in 1930 and redistributed.
Locomotive number 20 was delivered to the SDJR straight from the manufacturer, Bagnall, in 1928. When it entered the LMS pool of Jintys it would be renumbered 7151. Shortly after this, during a renumbering scheme it would be renumbered again to 7311. The locomotive would enter War Department service before being returned to its standard service, although now with BR as 47311. The locomotive would spend much of its BR life stationed in London before being withdrawn from the Stratford shed in 1960, being scrapped shortly after.
The Hornby Jinty is fitted with a 3 pole motor and simple gearing, proving to be a reliable runner on any layout. The 6 pin DCC socket allows the model to be used on a digital layout if required and its railroad specification make it ideal as a starter model.

Locomotive 25 entered SDJR service in 1928 before being taken into LMS stock in 1930 along with the rest of the class. The locomotive would be renumbered twice in fairly quick succession first to 7156 in 1930 and then to 7316 in 1934. In BR service the locomotive would be numbered 47316 and would remain in service until withdrawal and scrapping in 1962.

LNER Class J83 0-6-0T (R30378)
< Click here for more details >
< Click here for less details >
A North British Railway tradition was to use old tender locomotives for short distance goods and shunting duties. In the 1890s, traffic levels increased at a much higher rate, so Matthew Holmes had to design a new side tank locomotive. Forty NBR Class D locomotives (LNER J83) entered service in 1901 with twenty from Neilson, Reid & Co and Sharp, Stewart & Co.
Each member of the class was fitted with steam brakes. However, ten were converted to the Westinghouse brake system with vacuum ejectors fitted in 1916. After Grouping in 1923, LNER rebuilt the Class D locomotives into the LNER J83’s. During 1924 and 1925, entirely new boilers were fitted. Each dome was reduced in height by 9in with the old dome-mounted lock-up safety valves replaced by Ross pop safety valves that were mounted on the firebox. More new features included helical springs on the rear axles and enlarged front sand boxes.
Their main duties included the transfer of goods, heavy yard shunting, transporting minerals and banking. After Grouping, most of the J83’s main duties changed to shunting. By the time of BR nationalisation, one J83 had been withdrawn from service in 1947, leaving thirty-nine locomotives under BR ownership. In 1951, ten new boilers were constructed. As more diesel shunters were being introduced at this time, it was decided that members of the class would be withdrawn, with the last J83 withdrawn in 1962.
No. 8474 was ordered by North British Railway and constructed by Sharp, Stewart & Company in April 1901. Under NBR, its original running number was 827. After Grouping, LNER renumbered the engine to 9827 and then 8474. When finally transferred to BR ownership, the number changed again to 68474. The locomotive was withdrawn from service in April 1958.
No. 8474 comes complete in a classic and vivid LNER apple green livery. The buffer beam is red and the buffer stocks are black.
