68633, GER Class S56 (LNER J69) 0-6-0T

Notable history

Built at Stratford Works in September 1904 as Great Eastern Railway No. 87, one of a batch of twenty class S56 tanks that the LNER later classified J69/1. It was allocated to Stratford for the Liverpool Street suburban services, the intense inner-London workings that earned these small tanks the name Buckjumpers.

It moved to the Bressingham Steam Museum in 2013 and remains there on static display.
