4-4-2T Class D36 NBR/LNER Profile and Models
67502. Unknown date & location. ©LNER.info
The class L (D36) engine started life as N class engine number 695 (later number 9695 of the LNER). It was an attempt by William P. Reid to solve the problems of poor and inefficient running in the class N (D35) engines. The rebuilt locomotive was a success, and enjoyed lengthy service. However, it remained less efficient than newer locomotive designs of a similar type, and the extent of the rebuild meant that rebuilding costs were very high. It was considered not to be cost-effective to rebuild any other D35 types, leading almost at once to those engines being withdrawn and scrapped. The single class L (D36) engine continued in successful revenue earning service until 1943. Its final duties were in connection with training for air raid precautions, before it was withdrawn and scrapped in 1944, having been in service for exactly 50 years. |
