Several of the vacuum brake fitted locomotives were repainted in lined passenger liveries by both the LNER and British Railways for use as station pilots. These locomotives were generally keet very clean by shed staff and crews.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 113 locomotives of the class all continued their sterling work until the first locomotive was withdrawn in 1958. The final locomotive was withdrawn out of normal service in 1964 but two were transferred to Departmental Stock, one of these locomotives lasted in this role until 1967. Number 69023 is preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dapol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52989143155025,"sku":"DA2S-022-001D","price":155.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4992\/2129\/files\/da2s-022-001d_1_v2.jpg?v=1770995090","url":"https:\/\/www.jadlamracingmodels.com\/products\/dapol-j72-class-2173-ner-lined-black-dcc-fitted-da2s-022-001d-n-gauge","provider":"Jadlam Toys \u0026 Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
