Prototype Ex-GER Y14 (LNER J15) preserved at the North Norfolk Railway

[Erik-Jan]

Richard,
As Tony says the cab roof is much as the original when first built, judging by the photo's in Yeadon's book it seems that they did not have rain strips in the early days but gained them in later GER days before the LNER.
Some details in the attached pdf's show early roofs had a strip or band over the top also check out detail no.28 in the Loco Details file.

Once again try and find photographic evidence of your particular loco.

Col.

Thanks for the information on this forum. I'm a model engineer from the Netherlands and currently building a Y14/J15, although on a bigger scale (1:11.3, 5-inch gauge). For me, it is difficult to get good information about the loco, but I visited the North Norfolk railway in 2022. This post is however very useful, and I'm always grateful for any other info about this loco. Kind regards, Erik-Jan Stroetinga.

See my blog for the current state of the model: The GER Y14 0-6-0 steam loco
