Built by Beyer, Peacock & Co. Gorton Works, these locomotives were designed to replace pairs of Midland 0-6-0s on heavy coal drags between the East Midlands and London, these huge articulated machines were also used on ironstone traffic and travelled as far afield as York and Peterborough until they were replaced by new BR Standard '9F' 2-10-0s in the late 1950s. Only 33 were built and were in service between 1927 and 1958.

This model produced courtesy of Hatton's Model Railways and features sprung buffers, exterior and interior cab details. It measures 350mm (length).
