Entering service in March 1905 as the unnamed No. 175, it was given the name Viscount Churchill in 1907 and numbered 2975 in December 1912. In February 1924, the locomotive was renamed Sir Ernest Palmer, but when Baronet Palmer gained peerage in June 1933, it was subsequently renamed Lord Palmer in the October. The locomotive was extensively damaged in an accident while hauling a goods train at Appleford in December 1942 and was finally withdrawn on 30th November 1944 from Bristol Bath Road shed after a creditable 39 years and nine months of service.
