GER/LNER/BR J67 (Buckjumpers)
The J67 and J69s were basically the same locomotive design the original difference being that the J69s were use on passenger and empty stock workings working out of Liverpool Street and therefore had Westinghouse brakes fitted.
The J67s were used on unfitted freights and originally had locomotive steam brakes only.
The J67s were introduced in 1890 and continued in production up until 1901 in total 160 of these Holden designed 0-6-0T locomotives of Classes J67 & J69 were built of which 134 came into BR stock in 1949.
Due to rebuilding and reboilering, there were several J67’s which became J69S and vice versa.
The locomotives were associated with East Anglia & East London but some examples could be found scattered between Scotland, North Wales, Liverpool and Manchester.
Of the Scottish batch two 68492 and 68511 ran with auxiliary tenders and had the side tanks empty to reduce axle load whilst working the Lauder Branch,
.
BR Numbers allocated 68490-68636 with gaps due to rebuilding.
The last J67 locomotive was withdrawn in 1958.
