Webb’s 4-cylinder compounds of the Jubilee and Alfred the Great classes into 2-cylinder simple engines by George Whale later continued by Charles Bowen-Cooke.The first to be rebuilt was number 1918 Renown in 1908.The rebuilds retained their original numbers. Unusually for the LNWR the parent classes also had logical number series.
