What operated Midland Railway 1000 Class from 1923 to Dec 1947?
Midland Railway 1000 Class Midland Railway 1000 Class is a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotive designed for passenger work . They were known to reach speeds of up to 85 mph ( 137 km/h ) . Overview . These were developed from a series of five locomotives ( 2631–2635 ) introduced in 1902 by Samuel Waite Johnson , which had a 3-cylinder compound arrangement on the Smith system , with one high-pressure cylinder inside the frames and two low-pressure cylinders outside , and used Smiths starting arrangement . On the first two locomotives independent control of high-pressure and low-pressure valve gears was available . From 1905 onwards , Johnsons successor Richard Deeley built an enlarged and simplified version , eliminating all the Smith refinements and fitting his own starting arrangement , making the engines simpler to drive . These locomotives were originally numbered 1000–1029 , but in the 1907 renumbering scheme the five Smith/Johnson locomotives became 1000–1004 and the Deeley compounds 1005–1034 . Ten more of these were added in 1908–1909 . The original Johnson locomotives were all subsequently renewed as Deeley compounds , including the now-preserved 1000 which was rebuilt and outshopped with a superheater in 1914 . Numbered 1000–1044 by both the Midland and LMS companies , British Railways renumbered the Midland series of compounds 41000–41044 after nationalisation in 1948 . Accidents and incidents . - On 23 December 1904 , locomotive No . 1040 was hauling an express passenger train that was derailed at , Buckinghamshire due to excessive speed on a curve . Locomotive No . 1042 was hauling an express passenger train that collided with the wreckage at low speed . Four people were killed . - On 19 January 1918 , locomotive No . 1010 was hauling an express passenger train that was derailed when it ran into a landslip obstructing the line at Little Salkeld , Cumberland . Seven people were killed and 46 were injured . - On 10 July 1933 , locomotive No . 1010 was hauling an express passenger train that was in a side-long collision with a freight train at Little Salkeld due to a signalmans error . One person was killed and about 30 were injured , one seriously . - On 12 April 1947 , locomotive No . 1004 was hauling a passenger train which was derailed near Keighley , Yorkshire when a bridge collapsed under it . - On 21 April 1952 , locomotive No . 41040 was one of two hauling a passenger train that was derailed at Blea Moor Loops , West Riding of Yorkshire when a defective brake hanger on the locomotive cause a set of points to move under the train . Preservation . No . 1000 was set aside for preservation after withdrawal in 1951 and restored in 1959 close to its 1914 condition , painted in Midland maroon livery , running enthusiasts specials until placed in the temporary Clapham Transport museum . Though steamed since preservation , it is currently a static exhibit at the Barrow Hill Engine Shed at Derbyshire , having been lent by the National Railway Museum in York . LMS compound locomotives . After the grouping , the LMS continued to build slightly modified MR Compounds as the LMS Compound 4-4-0 Other compound locomotives with the same 3-cylinder layout . - Nord 3.101 ( renumbered 3.395 in 1909 ) mixed traffic 2-6-0 prototype built 1887 by the French Chemins de Fer du Nord to the design of Edouard Sauvage - withdrawn in 1929 - NER Class 3CC number 1619 of the North Eastern Railway 4-4-0 express locomotive rebuilt in 1898 from a 2-cylinder compound . This was W.M . Smiths first application of his patent compound system . - Four Robinson 4-4-2 Atlantic locomotives , classes 8D and 8E , built 1905–1906 as Smith compounds for the British Great Central Railway . - One 4-6-2 locomotive ( No . 900 ) built by the North British Locomotive Company for the Cape Government Railway in South Africa . - Five 4-4-0 locomotives ( GNRI Class V ) designed by G.T Glover and built in 1932 for the Great Northern Railway ( Ireland ) . These used the Deeley starting arrangement . - André Chapelons 4-8-4 SNCF 242 A 1 - CSD 476.0/932.3 4-8-2 1949 References . - Sources - Ian Allan ABC of British Railways Locomotives , 1948 Edition , part 3 , pp 5–6 - Nock O.S .
