LNER/BR Y1 & Y3
In 1925 the LNER had a need for small modern economic shunting engines that could work in confined areas of factories and docks.
They found their needs were covered by the Sentinel Wagon Works Ltd’s standard industrial shunter. The locomotives of Y1 Class had high pressure boilers linked to cylinders and chain transmission to the wheels.
Y3 class were similar but had two speed gears as opposed to the Y1 which had single speed transmission.
Y1 and Y3 class locomotives could be found from Lowestoft to Wrexham and Hawick to Stratford. The LMS Sentinel No.s 47180-47183 and GWR No 12.
