The H&BR Class F1 (LNER Class N11) was a class of 0-6-2T steam locomotives of the Hull and Barnsley Railway. The locomotives were part of a batch built by Kitson and Company for the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway (LD&ECR), but the order was cancelled because the LD&ECR was unable to pay for them.[1]
Equipment
The locomotives had domed boilers and square-topped cabs and were fitted with vacuum brakes.
Use
They were used for banking, goods trains and passenger trains. When the H&BR Class A locomotives were introduced for coal trains, the F1s were displaced to shunting duties.
Withdrawal
All were withdrawn and scrapped by the London and North Eastern Railway between 1943 and 1946. None have been preserved.
