The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway class 8 was a four cylinder 4-6-0 express passenger locomotive designed by George Hughes in 1908. As designed, they were fitted with Joy valve gear. These original locomotives were described as "poor performers" and in 1919-20, 15 were rebuilt with Walschaerts valve gear. Further examples were constructed with Walschaerts valve gear after the creation of the LMS.

Around the time of their construction, they were nicknamed "Dreadnoughts" on account of their large size, after the then-new Royal Navy battleship HMS Dreadnought.
