Johnathan

Johnathan, nicknamed "Johnny", is a former Great Eastern express locomotive owned by the Nerland Preservation Society. He is routinely loaned to Tri-ang Railways (TR) in cases of a lack of motive power and is one of the society's first large locomotives.

Bio
Johnathan was built in 1902 at Stratford Works for the Great Eastern Railway (GER) as a S46 class, later known as a 'D14' after 1923 by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER), "Claud Hamilton". He was modified by the LNER until reclassed as a 'D16/3' or "Super Claud" in 1938. In 1958, Johnathan was withdrawn from service and placed into storage to await scrapping with three other D16s. Two days after he was withdrawn, volunteers of the Nerland Preservation Society (NPS) came to acquire the society's first large locomotive and due to him being in the best condition and recent withdrawal, Johnathan was purchased and transported by rail to Nerland by Ugander.
