"Hornby BR J15 Class 0-6-0 65477 Era 4 Model Train"
"Designed by TW Worsdell the GER Class Y14 (LNER Class J15) was his solution to the lack of suitable freight locomotives available on the Doncaster route following the opening of the GN&38;GE joint line The first Y14s were built in July 1883 and they would go on to become the most numerous of the Great Eastern Railway&8217;s locomotive types with a total of 259 being built in 27 batches One of the reasons for the type&8217;s success was their simple design and in 1891 the Great Eastern Railway set the world record for erecting a steam locomotive No 930 being assembled at Stratford in just 9 hours and 45 minutes beating the previous record set at Crewe"
