Delivered during the Second World War, the LMS lost many of the class to the War Department. Ten of these never returned from overseas service and survived in the post-war Egyptian and Italian railways. The rest were transferred to British Railways and remained in service until the 1960s. The last was withdrawn in 1967 [2].
