Although a GWR Hawksworth design, 1501 was built at Swindon by the Western Region of British Railways in 1949, two years after nationalisation. The cabside of WR steam locomotives bore a letter on a coloured disc: the letter showed the power classification and the coloured disc showed the weight restriction. The 1500 Class was Red (up to 20 tons axle load) and power classification C. The class was rated as a 4F by British Railways. The class, of which only 10 were built, was classified as 4F by BRused the 'Standard 10' GWR boiler. Unlike the SVR’s other panniers, 1501 has outside cylinders.
