Accurascale OO Scale BR J67 – 68535

BR J67 68535 was from the same 1892 batch as No. 359, being originally numbered 358 under the GER and 7358 under the LNER and was also rebuilt as R24r in 1904. Along with 19 other J69 locomotives, 7358 was transferred to the Scottish Area during 1927/28 and while 11 of those locomotives were returned to the South between 1944 and 1952, the now renumbered 68535 remained in Scotland allocated to Dundee Shed 62B, until withdrawal in August 1959.
