Introduced in 1883, all 244 locomotives were absorbed into LMS stock in 1923. Almost all survived to be taken over by BR in 1948, though they had all been withdrawn by the end of 1962 and none of the class were preserved. I did not see any of them, but John Dyer found these examples at Perth sheds – Nos. 57252 and 57345 on 31/7/1960 and No. 57232 at Dunblane on 1/8/1960. As always, I’m grateful to John for allowing me to use his photos on my blog and for increasing my knowledge of some less well-known locomotive classes along the way.
