The 64xx class locomotives were built during the 1930s to provide engines capable of operating up to 4 coach auto trains. The first 30 of the near identical 74xx class were built alongside the last batch of 64s, with orders for further 20 being completed after nationalisation. The 74xx class were intended for branch lines where auto train working was not used, so the mechanical and electrical connections were omitted, while the boilers were set at a higher working pressure, giving a small addition in tractive effort for goods train working.
Lines worked by the 74xx class engines ranged from rural Oxfordshire and Wiltshire to coastal towns in west Wales and the mountainous line to Blaenau Ffestiniog.

7411 was completed in December 1936 and sent to Fishgaurd Goodwick shed, almost the end of the line in west Wales and spending the first phase of its' life in west Wales working from either Goodwick or Camarathen sheds. The engine moved away from Wales in June 1945 making its home at Oxford from where a number of 74xx working diagrams were supplied and at nationalisation 7411 was noted as being at Fairford,  The engine remained based at Oxford throughout the British Railways period, being withdrawn from service there in May 1959.
