I presume you mean the Thompson L1s, not the earlier GCR class (subsequently reclassified L3)?

If so, they were built at Darlington, at North British Loco Ltd. in Glasgow, and at Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns in Newcastle.
So - did anyone dare tell Stephenson, "It's not Rocket science"?

For those of you are not aware of this website, questions such as this one can be answered in a moment by looking up www.britishsteam.com . All sorts of interesting information are available on this website, including photographs of a large range of locomotives.

Brian - you need to edit the full stop off the end of your link, or it won't work.
