N7 0-6-0T - 69621
69621 is owned by the
East Anglian Railway Museum and is on long term loan to NNR.
Brief Outline
The A.J.Hill designed 0-6-2T first appeared in
1915. Eventually twenty-two were GER built at Stratford, all superheated and all
with right hand drive. They were scheduled for the intensive Liverpool Street
suburban services. The LNER built many more, the class eventually totalling 134
in number. 69621, originally 999, was the last engine built at Stratford,
ordered by the GER in 1921 and, finally, completed in 1924. 69621 was a Wood
Street engine but finished her days working between Palace Gate and North
Woolwich.
