The London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Fairburn Tank 2-6-4T steam locomotives are a class of steam locomotive. They were designed by Charles E. Fairburn for the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS). 277 of these locomotives were built between 1945–1951, numbered in the range 42050–42186, (4)2187–(4)2299, (4)2673–(4)4699.

Overview

This design was based on the earlier Stanier LMS Stanier 2-6-4T built from 1935–1943. It was also the basis for the later British Rail Standard Class 4 tank. They were used mainly for suburban passenger trains

Preservation

Two locomotives, nos. 42073 and 42085, survive in preservation on the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway.

Models

Bachmann produces the Fairburn 4MT in LMS Black as well as early and late BR. Bachmann has also made No. 42073 as a 00 Gauge model.
