No. 9463 fitted with condensing gear at Harringay 11 October 1946
Most of the class were fitted with
condensing apparatus and worked in the London area, from King's Cross and Hornsey depots, on empty coach trains, and on cross-London exchange freight trains.
In 1914, Crewe Works built an
armoured train which used a Class N1 engine. The engine was covered by a 14mm steel plate, and featured observation apertures to the front and side, closed by sliding steel shutters.[2] Two of the Ivatt tank engines No. 1587 and No. 1590 were loaned to Crewe to be fitted with armor plating and were named HMT Norna and HMT Alice respectively. They were sold back to the LNER in 1923 and had their armor plating removed.[3]
