These side tank shunting locomotives were a Gresley design for the Great Northern Railway, introduced in 1922 as rebuilds of earlier 0-6-0 engines. 102 were built in total, at Doncaster and Gorton works. All were scrapped by 1965 with none being preserved. John Dyer photographed 3 members of the class - No. 68908 at Low Moor MPD on 12/8/62, No. 68986 double-heading through Doncaster station on 30/4/62 and No. 68991 on station pilot duties at London King’s Cross in August 1959.
