There were 45 of these Robert Riddles, Swindon designed tanks. They were introduced in 1952 and all were constructed at Swindon. The last examples were withdrawn in 1967 and none were preserved. However, a new build, No. 82045, is under construction at the Severn Valley Railway. John Dyer photographed the following examples of the class – No. 82013 at Exeter St David’s on 23/4/60, No. 82020 at Bidston sheds in April 1959, No. 82031 at Neston North in February 1959, No. 82034 at Machynlleth sheds on 24/6/61 and No. 82034 at Hooton on 5/9/60.
