No. 1257 was built at the GNR's Doncaster Works and entered traffic in December 1901. Under the LNER it was reclassified as a J52 and renumbered to 4257 and, under its 1946 renumbering scheme, the 0-6-0ST became No. 8856. This number was prefixed with '6' under BR in 1948 and the locomotive was withdrawn in October 1951, achieving almost 50 years of service. This 1:76 scale model is presented in original Great Northern Railway apple green with black and white lining and red-shaded gold lettering and numerals. It also has the earlier-style safety valve cowling.
