Designed as front-line express passenger locomotives, the GWR 4073 Class Castles were built over a long period. The first of 155 new locomotives entered traffic in August 1923, while the last was finished at Swindon in August 1950 under British Railways. Sixteen further locomotives 15 Stars and one-off Pacific No. 111 Great Bear were also rebuilt as Castles, making 171 in total. No. 5081 was built in 1939 and originally named Penrice Castle but was renamed Lockheed Hudson in 1941. It was withdrawn from Cardiff East Dock in October 1963.
