H&BR Class F1

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]

Withdrawal

All were withdrawn and scrapped by the London and North Eastern Railway between 1943 and 1946. None have been preserved.
