allocated to the LMS's reserve listing by the addition of 20000 to its running
number (28529) in the early thirties to make way for Stanier's 8F's. It was
allocated the BR running number 58403 which it never received as it was
withdrawn from Bangor shed in December 1948 and was scrapped shortly
afterwards.
