Description I legit forgot I had this ready. 

The North British Railway's B Class 0-6-0 freight engines were designed by William Paton Reid as a part of his first 'wave' of new designs upon assuming the office of Chief Mechanical Engineer in 1903 for goods and mineral work. 76 Were built from 1906 to 1913 at Cowlairs Works. They were built as an improvement of the C class engines built by Holmes in the late 1880s. All 76 were inherited by the LNER, where they were classified as J35 and remained on virtually the same duties, though the entire class was fitted with superheaters between 1923 and 1942. Withdrawals began after World War II and six were withdrawn by Nationalization, but this paused until 1958, then the rest of the class was all gone by December 1962 and none are preserved.
