Data from Wikipedia's entry [], last accessed on 2 May 2011, on the 1932 engines. Kitson works numbers were 5644-5648. British Rail's Horwich Works built 5 more of these in 1953-1954.
The LMS operated the 5 locomotives they ordered in 1932 in industrial settings, although some wound up on Derbyshire's Cromford & High Peak Railway.
BR's supplemental order of 5 in 1953 reproduced the Kitson design except for the trading of boiler capacity for coal bunkerage, which doubled to 2.2 short tons.
All 10 were withdrawn in 1953-1966.
