Prototype Information
The "Black Five" was arguably one of the most successful mixed traffic steam locomotives. Designed by Stanier, they were described as the "go-anywhere, do-anything" locomotive and a whopping 842 were built between 1934 and 1951. Used widely across the network, the class saw usage by the LMS, in World War II and then by British Railways, with some remaining in service until the very end of BR steam in 1968. 18 Black Fives survived into preservation.
