PROTOTYPE. 19 members of this class were built by the NER as class H, with a further five being added by the LNER for dockside and light shunting work. 12 were sold during their long lives to industrial users.

  A number of the class rose to fame working on the North Sunderland light railway. Two locomotives lasted into BR days and two are preserved.

  KIT. This was the first loco kit I produced in 1989 and has proved to be a popular kit at an attractive price. A number of examples have been seen operating on exhibition layouts by their satisfied builders. The main body and chassis components are etched in brass. A little more filing and fettling of parts is required than in some of the later kits.
