5044 was completed in March 1936, named Beverston Castle and sent new to London Old Oak Common shed. The introduction of the 'Earl' class, better known as the Dukedog was not without incident, a number of the gentry being rather put-out at their titles appearing on rather antique looking engines, so Earl names were transferred to Castle class engines, Beverston Castle being renamed Earl of Dunraven in September 1937.
5044 remained an Old Oak engine for most of its' career, moving to Cardiff Canton (a shed noted for the superb condition of its' engines) before being withdrawn in April 1962.
