Ex-Great Eastern Railway T.W. Worsdell/S.D. Holden 'J15' class 0-6-0 No. 65471. Built at Stratford in June 19193 as GER No. 543 and withdrawn in June 1960.

The highly successful Thomas Worsdell 'maid of all work' 'J15s' continued to be built over a thirty year period up to 1913 with 289 being constructed. When Worsdell moved to the NER in 1885 he based his new, slightly more powerful 'J21s' on his 'J15s'. Both compound and simple verions were built but all 201 were converted to simple over time. 65471 is seen ex-works at Stratford MPD in May 1956.
