List of LMS locomotives as of 1947-12-31
Encyclopedia
The following is a list of locomotives of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway
as of 31 December 1947. This date is significant because nationalisation of the Big Four occurred the next day, 1 January 1948. Thus this is the list of locomotives as inherited by British Railways. At this time there were approximately 8,000 steam locomotive
s, 50 diesel locomotive
s and a handful of others.
(CR), Furness Railway
(FR), Glasgow and South Western Railway
(G&SWR), Highland Railway
(HR), London and North Western Railway
(LNWR), London, Tilbury and Southend Railway
(LT&SR), Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway
(L&YR), Midland Railway
(MR), and North London Railway
(NLR).
The most numerous class at this point was, if Midland and LMS classes are combined, the 4F (192 MR, 5 S&DJR, 575 LMS), and the second (or without combination) the "Black Five"
with 742 locomotives, there were also 623 8Fs
, including 67 LNER Class O6
on hire.
The LMS numbered self-propelled vehicles (diesel railcars, EMUs) into the coaching stock series, with the exception of the L&YR Railmotors
.
BR allocated numbers in March 1948 (in the meantime there were a few withdrawals and new construction). Most ex-LMS engines had 40000 added to their numbers, but those with numbers over 20000 were renumbered in the 58xxx series to avoid the 6xxxx series used for ex-LNER locomotives. The ex-MR 2F and 3F 0-6-0s were also renumbered into that series. It then took a few years to renumber all the locomotives.
In terms of locomotive taxonomy, the LMS had a tendency to lump
classes together (e.g. Sentinels, diesel shunters, ex-Midland 0-4-4Ts), but for clarity these have been split
into subclasses where appropriate.
NB: This list is currently under constructiom. The power classification given is the LMS power classification. BR adopted the same system system-wide, but adapted it slightly.
Also, NCC engines and some departmental stock is missing.
Locomotives of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway
The London, Midland and Scottish Railway had the largest stock of steam locomotives of any of the 'Big Four' Grouping, ie pre-Nationalisation railway companies in thec UK. Despite early troubles arising from factions within the new company, the LMS went on to build some very successful designs;...
