EspañolGER CLASS C53
The Great Eastern Railway 'Class C53', classified as 'Class J70' by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) was a class of 0-6-0 tram engines used on the Wisbech and Upwell Tramway from the 1930s to the 1950s. They were designed by James Holden. They replaced earlier GER Class G15 0-4-0 of similar appearance.
No Great Eastern C53's survived, but there are plans to build a replica of a GER C53 Locomotive which will represent the Toby character (see below) for preservation along with
a replica of a G15 which proceeded the C53.
The J70 was the inspiration for Toby the Tram Engine in the The Railway Series by W.V. Awdry.
