In the 1890s, traffic levels increased at a much higher rate, so Matthew Holmes had to design a new side tank locomotive. Forty NBR Class D locomotives (LNER J83) entered service in 1901 with twenty from Neilson, Reid & Co and Sharp, Stewart & Co.\nEach member of the class was fitted with steam brakes.
