They operated in their original parallel boiler form until rebuilt with tapered boilers under William Stanier between 1946 and 1949.No. 5540 ‘Sir Robert Turnbull’ is in an LMS Crimson Lake livery. It is named after Robert Turnbull who served as Lieutenant Colonel in the Engineer and Railway Staff Corps and who also served the LNWR as its General Manager. He was knighted in 1913.
