Ex-North Eastern Railway. W.Worsdell 'E1' (LNER 'J72') class 0-6-0 Tank No. 68736.
On a glorious 1960s summer day, 68736 is seen at York Clifton carriage sidings, just north of the 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 by the LNER at various locations but both Newcastle and York were the beneficiaries in the NE region.
