Manufacturer description

Entering traffic as E852 Sir Walter Raleigh in July 1928, smoke deflectors were added in December 1929 and the 'E' prefix was removed in June 1931.

Following nationalisation, Sir Walter Raleigh was renumbered as 30852 in February 1949, while in Malachite Green with an unlettered tender and was repainted into British Railways Dark Green in December 1951. The late BR totem was added in October 1958.
