In 1916, William Pickersgill had 16 class 72 4-4-0 express locomotives built. From 1920, 32 more Class 113s followed, which had a slightly smaller boiler and slightly larger cylinders. Technically, they could be considered the successors to McIntosh's Dunalastair range, which is why they were unofficially called “Dunalastair V”. Like their predecessors, they had the cylinders and valve gear on the inside of the frame, but a superheater straight from the factory. They reportedly performed well, which increased their lifespans. So all members of the class came to the LMS in 1923 and to the British Railways in 1948. One was scrapped in 1953 after an accident and the rest were only retired between 1959 and 1962.
