Midland Railway 3835 Class

Steam and Early Locomotives

The Midland Railway 3835 Class is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotives designed for freight work by Henry Fowler, the first two introduced in 1911. A total of 197 engines were built: 192 numbered 3835 to 4026 for the Midland Railway, which British Railways renumbered 43835 to 44026 after nationalisation in 1948, and five constructed by Armstrong Whitworth for the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway in 1922, numbered 57 to 61 and absorbed into LMS stock in 1930 as 4557 to 4561. After the grouping in 1923 the design was slightly modified and built until 1941 by the LMS as the Fowler Class 4F. The engines were withdrawn between 1954 and 1965, and one Midland-built engine, 3924, is preserved on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.
