Manufacturer description

Designed by Wilson Worsdell, the NER P3 class would later be reclassified under the LNER to J27. The J27 was a modification of the earlier NER P2 (LNER J26), the biggest changes were in the depth of the firebox and shallower sloping grate. 115 engines in total were built and over their working careers received many modifications. The class were built to handle long distance freight and mineral trains but were soon displaced once larger engines started to be built. The design proved to be robust and a very capable workhorse, pulling heavy coal trains, with the last J27 being withdrawn in September 1967. Only one example survives of the class still suvives; number 65894 which was purchased by the North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group directly from BR on 1st December 1967.

Our model will feature accurate details for 1214 during its LNER period

Prototype information

It is fitted with DCC sound equipment and reproduced in the LNER black livery with red lining. The locomotive carries the running number 1214 and is presented in a pristine paint finish.

The model represents the NER P3 class, later re‑classified by the LNER as J27. Designed by Wilson Worsdell, the J27 was an evolution of the earlier NER P2 (LNER J26) with a deeper firebox and a shallower sloping grate. A total of 115 engines were built; they were primarily employed on long‑distance freight and mineral trains before being superseded by larger engines. The final J27 was withdrawn in September 1967, and only one example, number 65894, survives, having been acquired by the North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group on 1 December 1967.
