Hi there, does anyone have any photos of the J79 tank loco, known as the H2 in NER service? I'm thinking about buying a model one but the only photo i've seen of one is on this website.
Cheers, Rob

RCTS 8B has two photos, one of 407, one of 1787, thus capturing 2/3rds of the entire production of this loco. They were built in 1897 at Gateshead and a service stock loco, 1662 was transferred to running stock in 1925, having been built in 1907. All three were withdrawn in 1936/7.
The boiler is domeless and similar in design to the J78 crane and the Y7 0-4-0T.
