The North Eastern Railway (NER) Bogie Tank Passenger (BTP) locomotives were designed by Edward Fletcher in 1873. The locomotives were for hauling passenger services on branch lines. They had an 0-4-4 wheel layout and were later designated as G6. A total of 124 G6s were built.With the introduction of the NER Class O (LNER G5) G6 locomotives started to become redundant. Fifty of the redundant G6s were rebuilt between 1899 and 1908 as NER 290 Class (later LNER Class J77) 0-6-0T locomotives.
