When the GER was amalgamated into the LNER in 1923 they were classified F6 (instead of F5). It wasn't until 22 December 1948 that the "twins", now numbered 67218 and 7219 respectively, were correctly reclassified into the F5 category. 7219 received her British Railways number in November 1949 after a general repair at Stratford.

Designed by S.D.Holden, the F6 was the last of the 2-4-2T tanks developed by the Great Eastern Railway (GER). Visually they looked very similar to T.W.Worsdell 's F4 and F5 classes, although the cab side windows can be used for identification purposes.

One-hundred-and-eighteen M15s and all thirty-two M15rs (including numbers 789 and 790, the two locomotives that were rebuilt with GER Class G69 cabs), passed into London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) ownership at the 1923 grouping. The number 7000 was added to the ex-GER fleet. They received the following classifications:

The LNER 2-4-2 Locomotives. The 2-4-2T was adopted by many companies for local passenger work (and in at least one case for semi-fast duties). The LNER inherited 341 at Grouping (1923), and did not build any of its own. Due to the large numbers inherited from the Great Eastern Railway (GER), they outnumbered all other four-coupled tank designs.

They all passed to the London and North Eastern Railway at the 1923 grouping and received the classification F6. This article relies largely or entirely on a single source . ( October 2016 )

2017年12月8日 · Die Maschinen bekamen nach dem Grouping 1923 bei der London and North Eeastern Railway die Bezeichnung LNER F6 Class. Alle Lokomotiven kamen bei der Verstaatlichung 1948 zu British Railways , wo sie zwischen 1955 und 1958 außer Dienst gestellt und später verschrottet wurden.

We start with 67230, a former GER 2-4-2T, LNER F6. Their predecessors (F4 and F5) were known as "gobblers" - I'm not sure whether these had such a great appetite for coal NER "O", LNER G5 no 67261 at Monkseaton.
