Under the Midland Railway 1907 renumbering scheme, they were given the numbers 1331–1350. The London, Midland and Scottish Railway numbers were the same. Seven, numbers 1337/40–42/44/48/50 were inherited by British Railways in 1948. In March 1948 they were allocated the numbers 58052–58058 to create space in the ex-LMS numbering series for Ivatt Class 2 tank locomotives, but only five received their new number. All were withdrawn and scrapped.
