Background

By the mid-1920s the LMS had followed the Midland Railway's small engine policy that meant that it had no locomotives of sufficient power for its expresses on the West Coast Main Line. Trains were entrusted to LMS/MR Midland Compounds 4-4-0s and the LNWR Claughton Class. Construction of 50 of a new class of 4-6-0 was authorised from the North British Locomotive Works in Glasgow, and they were introduced without testing, the design being based on the SR Lord Nelson Class. A further 20 were built at Derby. The Midland Railway (MR) was a railway company in the United Kingdom, which existed from 1844 to 1922. ...
