The Furness Railway 2100 Class or Class K2 were locomotives that were built at Sharp Stewart and Co. in 1896. The total of 6 locomotives that were built in 1896, 2 built in 1900, was 8. On January 1st, 1923, the locomotives moved from the Furness Railway to the London, Midland, and Scottish Railway as numbered 10135-10142. They were withdrawn from 1929-1931. On February 12, 1959, LMS No. 10142 was the only one survived to preservation, and was rebuilt with a new cab, a Phoenix superheater, painted BR lined black with a late emblem and renumbered 50142 for the British Railways. In September 1968, when Sir Haydn returned to service in the Talyllyn Railway, it was repainted in British Rail lined blue livery with the Double Arrow emblem. It was redrawn and scrapped in 1969, the same year when Talyllyn Railway No.4 'Edward Thomas'' Giesl Ejector was retired and removed. None have survived to preservation.
