The Bachmann Class J72 0-6-0 tank locomotive model (part number 31-050A) reproduces a small freight engine from the Big Four period. It represents the LNER version of the J72 class, a robust 0-6-0T that was widely used for shunting and short‑haul duties.

The model carries the original running number 8680 and is intended for collectors and railway enthusiasts who wish to operate a historically accurate LNER locomotive in a layout set during the early twentieth century.
