The London, Midland and Scottish Railway Compound 4-4-0 was a class of steam locomotive designed for passenger work. One hundred and ninety five engines were built by the LMS, adding to the 45 Midland Railway 1000 Class, to which they were almost identical. The most obvious difference is that the driving wheel diameter was reduced in size from the Midland Railwy version. The class were withdrawn between 1952 and 1961. None have survived into preservation, though the first of the Midland 1000 Class engines has. |
