Midland Railway 480 Class

Midland Railway 480 Class

The Midland Railway (MR) 480 Class was a class of double framed 0-6-0 steam locomotive. Designed by Matthew Kirtley for the Midland Railway of Britain. They were built between 1863 and 1868. They were a development of the 240 Class, with curved frames, and were themselves developed into the 700 Class. 224 were built, and although most survived to LMS ownership in 1923, only 3 survived the mass withdrawal of the late 1920s and early 1930s.

1907 numbers 2398-591, 2672/3.
