They were a development of the 240 Class, with curved frames, and were themselves developed into the 700 Class.
Ownership
In total, 237 were built. Most survived to London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) ownership in 1923, but only three survived the mass withdrawals of the late 1920s and early 1930s.
Numbering
After the Midland Railway's 1907 renumbering scheme, the numbers were:
- 2398–2591 and
- 2672–2686
This totals 209 locomotives, as 28 had been withdrawn between 1902 and 1906.
