The Midland Railway 2511 Class was a class of 2-6-0 steam locomotives.

There was an inability of the Midland's own Derby Works or British locomotive companies to provide motive power at the time. Thus they were built by the Schenectady Locomotive Works in the United States as a kit of parts, shipped, and assembled at Derby. Unlike, the moguls built by Baldwin which formed the 2501 Class, consideration was given to British practice, so their appearance, though still American, had cleaner lines.

Originally Nos 2511–2520, in the Midland's 1907 renumbering scheme, the Schenectadies became Nos 2230–2239, in the same order.

Being non-standard, they were quickly withdrawn and all were scrapped before the formation of the LMS in 1923.
