GCR Class 5A

The GCR Class 5A was a class of seven 0-6-0T steams designed by John G. Robinson for work in docks operated by the Great Central Railway.

[1] They passed to the London and North Eastern Railway at the grouping in 1923 and received the LNER classification J63.

The class was introduced in 1906 as a replacement for the GCR Class 4 dock shunters, based on his predecessor's GCR Class 5 but with side tanks rather than saddle tanks.

All seven examples survived into British Railways ownership in 1948, at least one being at Immingham in 1952,[2] and at least one at Connah's Quay in 1954.
