The prototype, number 4700 and the last of the Churchward designs, was produced in 1919 with the Standard number 1 boiler with an 8 feet long smokebox, 5 feet 8 inch driving wheels with thinner flanges on the inner pair of driving wheels and spherical joints to the rear pair of coupling rods to allow a degree of sideways movement. Number 4700 ran for two years before it was found that the engine required a larger boiler. Only 7 of the class were built and all locos were scrapped around 1962-64 and none were preserved.
