M&GN Railway 0-6-0 locomotive
The Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway (M&GN) was formed in 1893 with an ill assorted collection of locomotives to handle goods traffic including no 0-6-0 types. In 1896, eight 0-6-0s were ordered from Neilson & Co. to the final version of Johnson's standard (small-boiler) 0-6-0 Midland design. These were followed by an order for eight similar 0-6-0s from Kitson & Co in 1899. All sixteen were were known as "Class D" (LNER J40). Between 1906 and 1928, four of the locomotives were rebuilt with Belpaire versions of the original "H Class" boilers used on the original locomotives. These were known as "Class D Rebuilt" (LNER J41). The Class D and Class D Rebuilt types were reclassified as LNER classes J40 and J41 respectively, in 1942. Withdrawals of the remaining J40s and J41s started shortly afterwards. The J41s became extinct in 1943, and the J40s in 1944.
