The NER P2 design came into existence and stood out from anything which had previous been built by the NER with a massive 5ft 6in diameter boiler. 30 were built in 1904\/05 at Darlington and a further 20 built in 1905 in Gateshead. The design was modified in 1906 to produce the NER P3 later J27 design. The J26 was mainly used on goods traffic. None of the 50 J26 survived into preservation with the final J26 locomotives being withdrawn in 1962.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBanana Vans\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt in 1923 by the newly formed LNER, the GER Diagram 85 banana vans were built to transport imported bananas under carefully controlled conditions.
