Midland Railway 1000 Class
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Midland Railway 1000 Class is a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotive designed for passenger work. They were designed by Richard Deeley and had a 3-cylinder compound arrangement and one high pressure inside cylinder and two low pressure outside cylinders.(Smith-Deeley system).
This layout was copied by Andre Chapelon for his 242 A1.
After the grouping, the LMS continued to build MR Compounds as the LMS Compound 4-4-0
Numbered 1000-44, British Railways renumbered them 41000-44 after nationalisation in 1948.
The first of the class No. 1000 was set aside for preservation after withdrawal in 1959. Though steamed since preservation, she is now a static exhibit in the National Railway Museum in York.
