259 examples of this small freight loco were built between 1883 and 1913. Designed by TW Worsdell, they were used all over the GER network, especially in the rural areas of East Anglia where it was not uncommon to see them working passenger services. Most were built at Stratford where, in 1913 a world record was set when No 930 was assembled in 9 hrs 45 mins and put straight into service. For more information on the J15 class click here
