Evening Star was the last steam locomotive to be built for British Railways. It was one of a total of 999 'standard' locomotives designed for a wide variety of uses, from tank engines for local passenger trains to large freight engines like Evening Star. The 'Standards' were planned to keep the railways running until widespread electrification.

The elaborate livery on this locomotive (built in 1901) was created to help give the newly formed South Eastern and Chatham Railway a positive image. Wainwright's 'D' class was designed for express trains, but was later used on branch lines in the South East of England until it was withdrawn in 1956.
