 six-coupled goods engine. The class utilised the standardised 4 foot wheels and 18 by 26 in (457.2 by 660.4 mm) cylinders of which W. F. Pettigrew had become a great proponent. To gain the extra traction, Pettigrew increased the boiler pressure to 170 lbf/in2. from the 150 lbf/in2 of the D3 and 160 lbf/in2 of the D4.

Initially only four were built but during World War I, a further fifteen were added, all of which had boilers six inches longer than the first four, making them generally more capable but two tonnes heavier.

The D5 was the largest and most powerful of the mineral engines on the Furness Railway
