The number of this locomotive is 77? - which would be a post 1907 grouping number.
This identifies the locomotive as originally numbered 86?, built 1904-1905 in Derby for the Midland Railway.
Designed by Samuel W Johnson, between 1900 and 1905 some 80 locomotives of this type were built - of which 20 were of this sub-type, having a G8A boiler at 200psi.
This was a 53 ton 2 cylinder Class 3 4-4-0 engine, with a Belpaire firebox.
All engines of this type had been withdrawn by 1953 and none are preserved.
