The NBR B Class (LNER Class J35) is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive designed by William Paton Reid for freight work on the North British Railway. They were introduced in 1906 and had inside cylinders and Stephenson valve gear. The first eighteen locomotives had piston valves and the remainder had slide valves.

Classification

Seventy-six locomotives were built and these passed to the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) in 1923. The LNER classified them as follows:^[1]

J35/1 Engines with piston valves
J35/2 Engines with piston valves and short fireboxes
J35/3 Engines with slide valves

The entire class was fitted with superheaters between 1923 and 1942 and re-classified from 1937 as follows:

J35/4 Engines with superheaters and slide valves
J35/5 Engines with superheaters and piston valves

Numbering

Seventy locomotives of classes J35/4 and J35/5 came into British Railways (BR) ownership at nationalisation in 1948 and were numbered as follows:^[2]

Class J35/5, 64460-64477
Class J35/4, 64478-64535
