[edit] Design and Construction

Designed at the ex-LNER works at Doncaster, the standard four mogul was essentially a standardised version of the LMS Ivatt Class 4. It was primarily intended for freight use.

[edit] Preservation

Four examples have been saved, these being 76017/77/9/84. 76017 and 76079 have been restored to working order and the last has, as of 2006 a main line certificate.
