Midland Railway 483 Class
- Midland Railway 483 Class
-
The Midland Railway 483 Class 4-4-0 was a class of steam locomotive designed for passenger work. This design formed the basis for the later LMS Class 2P 4-4-0. The London Midland and Scottish Railway seems to have inherited 3 batches of these locomotives and some of them passed into British Railways (BR) ownership in 1948.
Rebuilt Midland Johnson 2P 4-4-0 No. 40542 at Chesterfield 1959
