TC8 L.M.S. / B.R. Black Five with riveted tender.
Built as a multiple purpose engine for the L.M.S. railway and designed by
Sir William Stanier. A total of 842 locomotives were built between 1934
and 1951 by five different builders. This model depicts the batch built
by Armstrong Whitworth and numbered in the series 5225-5451 and fitted with
the long firebox. A total of 226 locomotives were built by Whitworths making
it the largest single order for virtually identical steam locomotives ever
placed in the United Kingdom. Most, but not all, originally built with welded
tenders but many were exchanged for riveted tenders in later years The last
of the class were withdrawn in 1968. The model here is as built with the
riveted tender, kit TC7 depicts it with the welded tender.
