All were built at Derby Works between 1930 and 1932. They were initially numbered 15500-15569, but from 1934 were renumbered 1-70. Numbers 15520-39 (later 21-40 and 40021-40) were fitted with condensing apparatus to work around London.

William Stanier used them to form the basis for the LMS Stanier 2-6-2T, which was essentially a taper boilered version. After nationalisation in 1948 British Railways added 40000 on to their numbers to number them 40001-70.
All were withdrawn between 1959 and 1962. None have survived.
