LMS Rebuilt Patriot Class

The Rebuilt Patriot Class was a class of 4-6-0 steam locomotives of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, formed by rebuilding eighteen Patriot Class engines between 1946 and 1949 with the Stanier 2A boiler, cab and tender. The rebuilds were largely paper rebuilds, modelled on the Rebuilt Royal Scot Class. Seven had been converted by the start of 1948 when British Railways took over, and British Railways rebuilt another eleven; the rebuilt engines kept their numbers, with 40000 added from 1948. The two original members of the class and the first ten of the nominal rebuilds were not converted because of their non-standard parts. The rebuilt Patriots were withdrawn between 1961 and 1965 under the BR Modernisation Plan, and none were preserved.
