Steel-bodied mineral wagons were developed from the 1930s, with wagon builder Charles Roberts pioneering the slope-sided design. The tippler variant was ordered by Stewarts and Lloyds Ltd, the steel manufacturer of Corby and 700 of these wagons without doors were built between 1939 and 1940. Unloaded using a rotary tippler, the wagons passed to British Steel when the steel industry was Nationalised in 1967, later gaining British Steel Corporation numbers and markings. The tipplers remained in use as late as 1981, when steel making at Corby ceased.
