©Peter Stanger 2010 All rights reserved. This is a photo of the prototype chassis for the NER Class B, B1 0-6-2T tank loco as built. All our prototype chassis are etched in brass. The production version is etched in 0.38mm Nickel silver.
This chassis can be built in the as built NER condition or as running in LNER and BR days. Both types of brake arrangement are included on the fret. The type shown is the same as was fitted to NER Class C, LNER/BR Class J21. Most of the class J21 retained this brake arrangement throughout their lives while the class N8 seems to have been brought into line with the class N10 when the compound expansion engines were rebuilt as simple expansion engines.
