The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Stanier Class 8F is a class of steam locomotives designed for hauling heavy freight. 852 were built between 1935 and 1946 (not all to LMS order), as a freight version of William Stanier 's successful Black Five, and the class saw extensive service overseas during and after the Second World War.

Following Stanier’s new designs of express and mixed traffic engines for the LMS he turned his attention to the need for a heavy standard freight engine. The 8F class was introduced in 1935 and the design was a success straight off the drawing board proving itself far superior to the 0-8-0s which had been inherited from the LYR and LNWR.

William Stanier's Black Five locomotives have become some of the most famed in the preservation era - but its freight-bound equivalent, the 8F, receives less fanfare at times, despite being used far beyond most other steam locomotives.
