The GER Class R24 was a class of 0-6-0 steam tank locomotives designed by James Holden for the Great Eastern Railway. They passed to the London and North Eastern Railway at the grouping in 1923 and received the LNER classification J67. Some R24s were rebuilt with higher boiler pressure in which form they were similar to the later GER Class S56. The rebuilt R24s, together with the S56s, were classified J69 by the LNER.

Numbering

British Railways numbers were 68490-68636 but this series contained both J67 and J69 (GER S56) classes.
