History: The LNER J70 (GER Class C53) was a class of steam tram locomotives built by James Holden for the Great Eastern Railway. They later became part of the London and North Eastern Railway after nationalization. The British Railways acquired the remaining locomotives after nationalization in 1948. They operated on various tram lines including Wisbech, Upwell, and ports such as Great Yarmouth and Ipswich from the 1930s to the 1950s, eventually replacing earlier GER Class G15 locomotives. The last of these was withdrawn from service in 1942, but new renumbered locomotives continued until the 1955 withdrawal. The character Toby the Tram Engine was inspired by the J70, as featured in "The Railway Series" by Reverend W. Awdry and later the animated series Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends.
