The P3 Class(LNER J27) was designed by Wilson Worsdell and was a relatively minor modification of the existing North Eastern Railway NER Class P2 (LNER Class J26).

Initially eighty J27s were built between 1906 and 1909 in five batches, distributed amongst the NER's Darlington Works, North British Locomotive Company, Beyer, Peacock and Company, and Robert Stephenson and Company.

Five more  were delivered in 1921-2 with Schmidt superheaters and piston valves, followed by a final order of ten  built by the LNER at Darlington Works in 1923. The superheated J27s could be identified by their extended smokeboxes.

 

The Diagram 57 boiler was modified in 1939 to produce the Diagram 57A boiler.

Various modifications were done over the years.

 

The last J27 was withdrawn in September 1967.One is preserved .
