The **NER Class N** ([LNER](/source/London_and_North_Eastern_Railway) Class N9) was a class of [0-6-2](/source/0-6-2) [tank locomotives](/source/Tank_locomotives) of the [North Eastern Railway](/source/North_Eastern_Railway_(United_Kingdom)). It was designed by [Wilson Worsdell](/source/Wilson_Worsdell) and introduced in 1893.

## Modifications

Most of the engines were modified by fitting larger water tanks. This increased the total capacity from 1,371 to 1,630 imp gal (6,230 to 7,410 L; 1,647 to 1,958 US gal). Three engines still had their original tanks at the 1923 [Grouping](/source/Railways_Act_1921).

[Air brakes](/source/Railway_air_brake) were fitted to 10 locomotives between 1900 and 1923. The same engines received [vacuum brakes](/source/Vacuum_brake) as well, between 1928 and 1931.[1]
