NER/LNER/BR G5
One hundred and ten 0-4-4 tank locomotives were introduced by the North Eastern Railway between 1894 and 1901.
These locomotives designed by Worsdell were used on light passenger and branch-line work, they were known as class O on the N.E.R.
The class were mainly associated with the North-East coast but in the 1930s the LNER tried a few on the Great Eastern services in the East of London.
To extend their operational time away from their depots the majority were fitted with extended bunkers, some with hoppers.
A few of the class were push-pull fitted.
