Part of the first batch of four-wheelers to be supplied by the Metropolitan Carriage & Wagon Co., Ltd., of Saltley Works in Birmingham for the opening of the Peel Line in 1873, in common with others of the series the guards compartment had a narrower doorway.  This carriage was close coupled in 1883 with C.2 and became “pair” F.65 shortly thereafter; the carriage survived into nationalisation although was not used after the 1972 season; the bodies were scrapped in 1983 and the underframes used for Ballast Hopper No.1.
