Outside framed 4-4-0's with 5' 8" wheels. Built nominally as new engines between 1936 and 1939, they were in fact re-constructions of the withdrawn 'Duke of Cornwall' class and 'Bulldogs', embodying the boilers of the former and frames of the latter. They were numbered 3200-3228 until 1946 and for a short time the first twelve were named after 'Earls'. These name plates, however, were very soon transferred to the newly built 'Castle' class engines 5043-5054, after which they remained un-named. Originally numbered 3205 in 1936 and renumbered 9005 in 1946, was withdrawn in July 1959
