If ever a locomotive deserves the description of "ubiquitous" it the London, Midland and Scottish Railway's mixed traffic, medium powered Class 5 locomotives which were designed by Sir William Stanier and universally referred to as "Black Fives". Stanier, who had previously been the Works Manager at the GWR Works at Swindon, realized that there was a need for larger locomotives with greater pulling power on the LMS and, using his experience gained at Swindon, took inspiration from the GWR Hall Class locomotives.
Initially twenty were ordered from the Crewe Works and a further eighty from the Vulcan Foundry with the numbering starting from 5000.
