LMS Class 2P 4-4-0

The Class 2P 4-4-0 was a class of steam locomotives for light passenger work, introduced in 1928 by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway as a post-grouping development of the Midland Railway 483 Class, with modified dimensions and reduced boiler mountings. Numbering continued from where the Midland engines left off at 563 and reached 700, and 138 were built. Numbers 633 and 653 were fitted with Dabeg feedwater heaters in 1933, and numbers 591 and 639 were withdrawn in 1934 after being heavily damaged in an accident at Port Eglinton Junction near Cumberland Street station in Glasgow. British Railways added 40000 to the numbers of the remaining 136 engines in 1948. Further withdrawals came between 1954 and 1962 and all were scrapped.
