> Braunton was built in 1946 at Brighton Works, initially carrying the Southern Railway number 21C146.

Bearing a number, but as yet no name, the locomotive was first allocated to Exmouth Junction Shed. During this period it would have been seen on the Barnstaple to Ilfracombe line passing through the town of Braunton after which it was later named.

Braunton was renumbered 34046 following nationalisation of the railways in 1948 and was officially named Braunton in 1949 at a ceremony at Eastleigh Works.
