The ten locomotives were built at Derby Works in two batches of 5 each in 1893 and 1897.

They were numbered initially as 1116A–1120A, 2359–2360 and 1131A–1133A, the A suffix indicating the duplicate list.

The first locomotive was withdrawn in 1921, leaving nine to pass to the LMS at the 1923 grouping.

All but one were withdrawn by 1936, with the survivor being retired in 1955, having been renumbered 41516 by British Railways.
