History

Henry Fowler designed the €˜Patriot€™ 4-6-0 for the LMS as an upgrade of the LNWR€™s €˜Large Claughton€™ Class for express passenger work. Built at both Crewe and Derby Works, 42 and ten respectively, 52 entered service between 1930 and 1934. €˜Holyhead€™ was new from Crewe in September 1932, numbered 5983, but this was changed to 5514 in August 1938, as represented by the model. 

The locomotive would later be rebuilt with a Stanier taper boiler in 1947, before becoming BR 45514, with withdrawal coming at Derby in May 1961, the first of the rebuilt €˜Patriots€™ to be condemned.
