They were built between 1863 and 1868.

==Development== They were a development of the [[Midland Railway 240 Class|240 Class]], with curved frames, and were themselves developed into the [[Midland Railway 700 Class|700 Class]].

==Ownership== In total, 237 were built. Most survived to [[London, Midland and Scottish Railway]] (LMS) ownership in 1923, but only three survived the mass withdrawals of the late 1920s and early 1930s.

==Numbering== After the Midland Railway's 1907 renumbering scheme, the numbers were: * 2398–2591 and * 2672–2686

This totals 209 locomotives, as 28 had been withdrawn between 1902 and 1906.
