BR Departmental Locomotive No. 10 (68911) @ Doncaster Works - c1961

            An old photograph (just 2" x 2") of British Railways (BR) steam tank shunter No. 68911 (Departmental Loco No. 10) outside Doncaster Works.

There is no photographer name or date.

No. 68911/10 was a 'class J50' 0-6-0T engine designed by N. Gresley, built at the Doncaster Works and new to the Great Northern Railway (GNR) in Jun 1919 carrying No. 212. The GNR became part of London & North Easter Railway (L&NER) after grouping of the existing railway companies into 'the big four' in 1923, this loco being renumbered by L&NER as 3212 in May 1926, then renumbered to 8911 in Jun 1946. In 1948 the railways were nationalised, BR renumbering the locomotive to 68911 in Jan 1950. It was withdrawn in Feb 1960 and became a non revenue earning 'Departmental Locomotive' used for general shunting duties, being renumbered as 10 in Feb 1961. In 1965 it was withdrawn and scrapped.
