Ex-North Eastern Railway. W.Worsdell 'E1' (LNER 'J72') class 0-6-0 Tank No. 68736 in the 1960s on station pilot duties at the south end of York Station. What an inspired idea it was to apply the LNER's apple green lined-out livery with NER and BR crests to a humble station pilot locomotive. This had already been done since LNER days at various locations but both Newcastle and York were the beneficiaries in the NE region. 68736 was built by Armstrong Whitworth in June 1922 as NER No. 2329 and was withdrawn in Oct. 1963
