The
LMS "Black Five" 4-6-0s were designed under the
direction of William Stanier. They depart from previous LMS
practice by having tapered boilers, a feature which William
Stanier brought with him from his previous employment with the
GWR. The first example was introduced to traffic in 1934 or
1935. |
