January 1925 This class of engines was not successful and described as unsuitable for the tasks they were built to perform. They were used mainly for shunting and banking work and were unpopular with footplate crews, as they were prone to slipping and had a deficiency when it came to braking. They also had a tendency to derail, and had the flanges milled off the middle driving wheels in order to cure this defect. Although they were all allotted LMS numbers only one of the Accrington engines, # 712, actually carried it 11704 .
