Ownership changes
In 1923, they all passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, and were classified 3F, and renumbered 17650–17692. On nationalisation in 1948, the twenty-three survivors passed into British Railways stock, and were renumbered by adding 40000 to their LMS numbers.
Numbering table
Not all the BR numbers were actually applied because some engines had been withdrawn before 1948. They were withdrawn between 1934–1963, and all were scrapped.
