The design for this locomotive originated with Fowler on the Midland Railway in 1911, and over the next thirty years, and extending well into LMS days, no fewer than 775 examples were built, making it the most numerous class ever built in Britain. There are four survivors, this one being LMS No 4027, later BR No 44027, built in 1924 at Derby works.
