The London, Midland and Scottish Railway, usually shortened to LMS, was a British railway company formed on 1 January 1923 when the Railways Act 1921 grouped more than 120 separate railways into four large companies. Its constituents included the London and North Western Railway, the Midland Railway, the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway and several Scottish companies such as the Caledonian Railway. It ran services in and around London, the Midlands, north-west England, Wales and Scotland, with the West Coast Main Line and the Midland Main Line as its principal routes, and it was described as the world's largest transport organisation and the largest commercial enterprise in the British Empire. Its profitability was generally disappointing, with a return of 2.7 percent in 1938. The company was nationalised on 1 January 1948 and became part of British Railways. In this atlas it is the make under which the locomotive classes the LMS designed and built are grouped.
