History
The locos that became 300 and 301 were built in 1915 as LB&SCR No.105 and No.106, but were requisitioned by the war department to work on the building of National Shipyard (North) No.1 and No.2 in WW1.

Originally the whole batch of extended tank versions was to be sent, but this was cancelled when an order was placed for smaller Avonside 0-6-0ST locos more suited to the port environment. 'Thomas Edward Brown' and ‘Thomas Allen’ had already arrived by this time!

It seems the LBSCR did not want it back at the end of the war (having already built a replacement No.105 and No.106), so they was sold to the NWR in 1919. Apparently the LBSCR thought that they would be in such a state when they got them back that they would effectively be building new ones anyway!

300 is unique in that it was rebuilt with an extended bunker in 1930.
