The LNWR 1185 Class was a class of 0-8-2T steam tank locomotives designed by Charles Bowen-Cooke and introduced in 1911. They passed into LMS ownership in 1923 and 8 survived to British Railways ownership in 1948. British Railways numbers were 47875-47896 (with gaps).

A total of 69 locomotives was produced and these passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) in 1923. The LMS gave them the power classification 6F and numbered them as follows: Rebuilds, 12771-12800; New locos, 12801-12839; In 1948, British Railways (BR) inherited 11 locomotives and numbered them in the range 52782-52839.

L. & Y./B.R. 0-8-0 Class 30, L.M.S. 6F John Aspinall’s last locomotive design, a powerful 0-8-0 began to appear in April 1900. The first forty were built with six wheeled tenders of the same size as the enlarged Barton Wright tenders of the 4-4-2s.In 1902 his successor Hoy designed an eight-wheeled non-bogie tender of 3600 gallons and 5 tons ...

Soon after the Grouping in 1923, LMS policy for weeding out non-standard types made the class superfluous. Their boiler's eventual need for replacement, and their unique design, led to the whole class' withdrawal between 1927 and 1929.

1) The standard method of steam locomotive classification is used in most cases, with a number relating to the locomotive's power (0 being the least powerful, 8 being the most) followed by the letter 'P' for passenger, 'F' for freight or MT for "Mixed Traffic" (both freight and passengers).

The LMS Lady of the Orchestra class was a class of three 2-6-4 locomotives used for mail trains from Liverpool to Barrow-in-Furness, built in 1927. They were a short-lived class, surviving for only twelve years after construction. Two of them were scrapped at Horwich works by 1939.

The principle problem that the LMS had in the early years was underpowered locomotives, especially those inherited from the Midland Railway. Expresses on the former Midland lines were often double-headed and the dominance of the MR in the early years, meant that the former London and North Western Railway expresses were forced to be ...

Many appear to have had little or no use but w hen tested this loco ran very well indeed. We will always provide good photos of any loco but particularly kit built locos. We will highlight any defects that are evident.
