Now under the ownership of BRITISH RAILWAYS as a resut of government nationalisation on 1st January 1948, here we see Reid honing his 0-6-0 design in the form of what the LNER later designated as J35 class. These were extremely powerful 0-6-0 locomotives which had a meaningful presence due to their larger size and high pitched boiler when compared to the earlier J36 engines designed by Holmes. Where as a lot of the tank engines just did not lend themselves to the early B.R. livery (with the lettering rather than a crest) due to the bunker not aligning with the water tank, the tender engines always looked right. It is worth noting the style of the 6 as it was later changed to the gill sans font.
