Designed and built by D. Drummond for the LSWR in 1897 these locomotives were rebuilt by Urie between 1920 and 1929 with new boiler, smokebox and increased cylinder size.
The rebuilt locomotives could be distinguished by their extended smokeboxes which were enlarged to cater for the new superheaters.
