No emblem on tender red painted cabside numberplate

9002 , originally numbered 3202, was constructed at Swindon Works in 1936 using the frames of " Bulldog " 3416 , " Frank Bibby " and boiler , cab and fittings from " Duke " 3286 , " St. Just ", and was named " Earl of Dudley " , the first thirteen of the newly constructed rebuilds , known not surpisingly as " Dukedogs " carrying names in the " Earl " series whilst further such names had been allocated to , but not actually carried by , the proposed later rebuilds.
With the introduction of the later series of " Castle " class express locomotives in 1937 the whole series of " Earl " names were allocated to what was considered to be a more fitting class of engine to carry such names , and 3202 lost her nameplates to 5045 , one of the new "Castle " class
