A great deal of money was wasted on resolving the problems of a class designed for duties that could have been undertaken by cheaper 2-6-2 or 4-6-0 mixed-traffic locomotives.

[6] As a result, an order was placed with Brighton railway works in April 1941 for twenty passenger locomotives of a type to be determined. [56], The rebuilding solved most of the maintenance problems whilst retaining the excellent features of the original design. The chain-driven valve gear proved to be expensive to maintain and subject to rapid wear. [35] The Bulleid numbering system was temporarily retained on the first seventy locomotives with the addition of an "s" prefix (e.g. [18] A few members of this class were considered candidates for preservation, most notably No. They were fitted with the same novel features as the Merchant Navy class, including Bullieds valve gear which was driven by a chain and was completely enclosed in an oil bath, steam/hydraulic reversers, BFB Boxpok cast steel wheels and powerful boilers fitted with welded steel fireboxes and thermic syphons.

Incorporating a number of new developments in British steam locomotive technology, they were amongst the first British designs to use welding in the construction process, and to use steel fireboxes, which meant that components could be more easily constructed under wartime austerity and post-war economy.[2]. The earliest drawings were for a moderately sized 2-6-0 with similarities to the London and North Eastern Railway K4class, which Bulleid had helped design for the West Highland Line when he was Nigel Gresley's assistant.

Although the new Merchant Navy class was available for the heaviest Continental expresses, the resumption of frequent passenger services over poorly maintained infrastructure, following the war, would require a lighter locomotive with wider route availability. 34110 66 Squadron, in January 1951 was delayed for several months pending consideration of proposals from British Railways management for a major modification to a standard two-cylinder design without the chain-driven valve gear,[21] but the locomotive entered service as Bulleid intended. [10] A curious but common sight west of Exeter during the winter months was a Light Pacific hauling a local stopping service with a single carriage to destinations as diverse as Padstow and Wadebridge. Close attention was paid to the ergonomics of the cab, which was designed with the controls required for operation grouped according to the needs of both driver and fireman, thus promoting safe operation. Once it became clear that the locomotives would be used further afield than the West Country, a decision was made to name the remainder after RAF squadrons, airfields, commanders and aircraft that had participated in the Battle of Britain over Kent, Surrey and Sussex. [64][65], Just four members of the class are yet to run in preservation: 34010 Sidmouth, which is under restoration from scrapyard condition (its boiler is stored at Bridgnorth); 34051 Winston Churchill, which is on static display at the National Railway Museum in York; 34058 Sir Frederick Pile, which is under restoration at the Mid Hants Railway; and 34073 249 Squadron, which is awaiting restoration at Carnforth MPD. 34095, 34097, 34099, 34101-2 and 34104 were built at Eastleigh, Bournemouth and Stewarts Lane sheds were closed September 1963, Exmouth Junction was transferred to Western Region control in September 1963.
