The locomotive was a year old when the photograph was taken and had the distinctive feature of a combined number and name plate on the cabside panels. Built at Swindon works in January 1900 it was renumbered in 1912 as No 3328 when the GWR gather all members of the class in a coherent numbering sequence.
