Midland Railway 1823 Class
The Midland Railway 1823 Class was a class of twenty 0-4-4T steam locomotives. They had the power classification 1P.
History
They were built in two batches of 10 each at Derby in 1889 and 1892. They were a development of the 1532 Class. The 1833 Class followed, and confusingly is sometimes grouped into this class.Original No. | 1907 No. | Manufacturer | Works Nos. | Qty | Year | Notes |
1823–1832 | 1331–1340 | Derby Works | 10 | 1889 | ||
1322–1326, 202, 1428–1430, 1697 | 1341–1350 | Derby Works | 10 | 1892 |
Under the Midland Railway 1907 renumbering scheme, they were given the numbers 1331–1350. The London, Midland and Scottish Railway numbers were the same. Seven, numbers 1337/40–42/44/48/50 were inherited by British Railways in 1948. In March 1948 they were allocated the numbers 58052–58058 to create space in the ex-LMS numbering series for Ivatt Class 2 tank locomotives, but only five received their new number. All were withdrawn and scrapped.
