In 1937 two of the class were fitted with vacuum braking to work as carriage shunters and more followed from 1947 onwards, eventually leading to 41 members of the class being so fitted. Several of the vacuum brake fitted locomotives were repainted in lined passenger liveries by both the LNER and British Railways for use as station pilots. Locomotives so painted were generally keep very clean by shed staff and crews. The 113 members of the class all continued their sterling work until the first locomotive was withdrawn in 1958. The final locomotive was withdrawn out of normal service in 1964 but two were transferred to Departmental Stock, one of these locomotives lasted in this role until 1967. One member of the class, number 69023 is preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGeneral Specification\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis locomotive was developed using many original GA drawings to ensure a high level of accuracy of these models. Due to the tiny size of the model, many of the larger components are diecast to ensure the locomotive weighs as much as possible. In addition to this, the centre driving wheels will be sprung, and the coreless motor is fitted with a flywheel to help overcome dead frogs while performing shunting duties.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBody\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDiecast footplate\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDiecast tanks\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNER tapered buffers\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eLNER “Group Standard” buffers\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNER wheel and handle smokebox door locking\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eLater, LNER two handle style smokebox door locking\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eVacuum brake equipment for locomotives so fitted\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSmokebox numberplate for B.R. period\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eRoss Pop safety valves\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNER style “trumpet” safety valve cover\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eChassis\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDiecast chassis – split frames for live bearing pickup\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBlackened nickel plated driving wheels\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBrass bearings\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePlastic keeper plate with brake shoe\/linkage details\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSprung centre driving wheels\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eWheels to NMRA standards\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eElectrical\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePickup from all six driving wheels\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eCoreless motor\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eFlywheel\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eProvision for Next-18 Decoder in cab\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAccess for decoder fitting via four screws\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eDirect springing to centre driving wheel bearings to ensure electrical contact  \u003cp\u003eDetails specific to this version\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eAccessory Pack\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNEM Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNER Tall Chimney\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eLNER Buffers\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eNER Trumpet Safety Valves\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eBR Sanding Gear\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eSmokebox Door Numberplate\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eLNER Smokebox Door Dart\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eVacuum Brakes with external boiler pipe\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eRear Spectacle Coal Guards\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dapol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56355985064316,"sku":"2S-072-008","price":119.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/3048\/7164\/files\/2S-022-008_20Dapol_20J72_a0ecaf5f-db1f-4ba6-821d-8954008c3a72.png?v=1786091767","url":"https:\/\/www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com\/products\/2s-072-008-dapol-j72-0-6-0-69023-br-lined-apple-green","provider":"Kernow Model Rail Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
