69023 Grosmont, NYMR. 30.04.2011.

In 1898 W. Wordsell introduced the Class E1 0-6-0 tank locomotive, which later became the LNER Class J72. 85 were originally built. In 1949 - 1951 British Railways decided to build another 28, as a stop gap, alongside the general introduction of diesels. 69023 was one of this later build, being built at Darlington Works in 1951. In this view, it is seen in the LNER apple green livery, a livery applied to those members of the class which acted as station pilots at key North East stations on the East Coast mainline, such as York, Darlington and Newcastle. It also carries the name Joem. Following a recent overhaul, 69023 has seen regular use on the Wensleydale Railway, as well as visiting other preserved lines.
