== Table of Locomotives == The following table lists the chronology of major events for the entire class. De-streamlining took several weeks, so the date for modifications has been taken as the date when the locomotive was returned to service. Entries listed as "Current" are valid as at December 2016. {| class="wikitable sortable collapsible collapsed" ! LMS No. ! BR No. ! Name ! Into service{{r|Baker|p=59}} ! Style{{r|Baker|p=59}} ! Dbl.
