The North Eastern Railway (NER) Class C1, classified J21 by the LNER is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive. They were designed by T.W. Worsdell. Originally 30 were built, but later 171 Class C compounds were converted to simple operation.
One, LNER 876 (BR 65033) has survived to preservation and is the subject of a bid to restore to working order. The Locomotive was preserved in 1972 for Beamish Museum, Used at Beamish from 1975 pulling the restored NER Coach and the restored NER wagons between the Colliery Sidings and Station Until 1984 when it was declared unfit to run languaishing in the station yard With NO 14 (hawthorn leslie) or the Diesel shunter moving it to keep the motion running on occasion. It was on static display until 2004/2005 when it was removed to the north norfolk railway for restoration, hopefully in the next ten to fifteen years she will come back to Beamish.
