TheNER Class P (LNER Class J24) was a class of0-6-0steam locomotives of theNorth Eastern Railway.[1][2] They were designed byWilson Worsdell for mineral traffic.
As built the locomotives hadslide valves, but 20 were fitted withpiston valves andsuperheaters between 1914 and 1920. The cylinder bore was increased by half an inch at the same time.
In the infobox (right) 'ns' denotes non-superheated and 'su' denotes superheated. Some locomotives later had their superheaters removed but the piston valves were retained.
Thirty-four locomotives survived intoBritish Railways ownership in 1948 and numbered 65600-65644 (with gaps).
Withdrawals started underLNER ownership in 1933. British Railways quickly withdrew the remainder and all were scrapped by the end of 1951.
