History

The J36 was introduced in 1888 by the North British Railway Company and saw sterling service throughout their lives with the LNER and BR.

J36s were often used for snow-plough duty clearing heavy snow falls. For these and other duties in exposed areas, a number of the class were also fitted with tender cabs to provide some protection to the crew from the weather. Many of these cabs remained in place throughout their operational lives until being withdrawn from service.

In 1887, Matthew Holmes, Locomotive Superintendent of the North British Railway, decided to stop building goods locomotives with 17” cylinders and replace them with a larger class than the previous Drummonds. Utilising the same wheelbase and firebox as the Drummond 17” but with a new standard boiler, the first six NBR Class C locomotives were introduced in 1888 and such was their success that by 1900, 168 locomotives had been built.

Built at Cowlairs in June 1897, 722 was rebuilt with the NBR standard boiler by the LNER in May 1923, following Grouping. Renumbered shortly after, in March 1926, as 9722, by June 1926 the locomotive was allocated to St. Margarets Shed.By April 1930 the locomotive had moved south of the border, being allocated to Carlisle and whilst here received the 1946 LNER number 5293, changing to 65293 under BR in September 1948.

Locomotives

The NBR named a number of the J36s in 1919, in recognition of their overseas service during World War 1. Some of them lost their names whilst visiting ‘foreign’ works. The names were usually restored at a later date, and there are a number of cases of this cycle repeating itself. The official names are given below. BR No. 65311 was given the unofficial name of Haig in 1955.
