Between 1905 and 1907 the London & North Western Railway built six rigid steam railcars with a powered bogie that could be removed via double doors at the front end. Passenger accommodation was 48 in third class, the cars were fitted with electric lighting, and there was electric bell communication from the rear driving position and the footplate. All six were absorbed into the LMS fleet in 1923 and one, no. 3, survived to be nationalised, being withdrawn in February 1948.
