35-250Z & 35-250ZSF
Finally 35-250Z depicts loco 2093. This loco was one of the last to be repainted in full NER Green livery with N.E.R. on its tank sides as it appears to have been repainted thus after an overhaul in early March 1923, later that month LNER black with red lining became the order of the day. This livery was therefore carried by this loco from building in 1900 through to late 1924. Another interesting feature of 2093 was that it finished its life as 67322 based at Cambridge after 13 years at Stratford.

35-251Z & 35-251ZSF
35-251Z represents the new build loco 1759. This loco is currently in the course of construction to mainline certificate standards by The Class G5 Locomotive Company at its workshop in Shildon and each sale of this model will result in a donation being made to that company. The model reflects the loco in the guise that the replica is expected to be finished when building is complete when it is expected to start operations on heritage lines before venturing out onto the main line.  However there was also a real NER 1759 built in November 1897 but this loco never got a BR number as it was withdrawn as number 7306 in June 1948. Like many others of the class, much of its time was spent at Sunderland.

35-252Z & 35-252ZSF
In LNER livery is 35-252Z as loco 1752. This loco has a smoke box wheel and Ramsbottom Safety Valves. If our information is correct this one didn’t travel about much, it appears to have been a resident of Sunderland shed from early LNER days right to the time it was withdrawn from service. Sunderland shed had a large allocation of G5’s used on suitable local suburban and branch trains.

35-253Z, loco 2082 in LNER livery, our first sample displaying push-pull gear which was fitted to some members of the class from the late 1930’s. This loco travelled about a bit and spent time at West Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Hull Botanic Gardens, Leeds Copley Hill, Bridlington, Selby, Malton and South Blyth although most of its time in the livery and detail depicted on the model was spent at either Middlesbrough or Hull Botanic Gardens.

35-254Z & 35-254ZSF
35-254Z loco number 67263. The G5 was a complex loco with many detail variations and in the early post war years a small number of non push pull fitted locos had their Westinghouse brakes removed. These engines therefore had neither Westinghouse equipment or push pull equipment. 67263 was one such loco and it received this modification whilst shedded at Durham. One photograph of it shows it at Durham on station pilot duty. It was one of the locos which survived into 1958 being withdrawn from Hull Botanic gardens in October 1958.

35-255Z & 35-255ZSF
35-255Z loco number 67342. Of all the class this had to be one of our selection for no better reason than the photo that exists of it on Goathland bank, so we know for sure this one came past the current TMC premises. What is more it isn’t on a branch passenger train but piloting a heavy holiday express. Unlike the loco above it kept the Westinghouse brake equipment and it also received a hopper bunker. This loco survived until December 1958 when it was withdrawn from Malton shed.

35-256Z & 35-256ZSF
We now have some photographs of loco 67282 [35-256Z] which is in BR lined black with early crest. This loco spent its BR days at Hull Botanic gardens and was push pull fitted with a Hopper bunker. Hull was home to both non push pull and push pull fitted G5’s for local suburban services.

35-259Z & 35-259ZSF
Last but not least is 67261 [35-259Z]. This is one of only two G5’s that received the BR late crest, the other being 67281 and both were shedded at South Blyth at the time although 67261 was transferred to Sunderland shortly before withdrawal. It appears that the Blyth to Monkseaton route was one service on which they were used until dieselisation took place in late 1958. 67261 was push pull fitted and had a cage bunker.
