974003MR 483 No.518 Midland Railway Crimson
The Midland Railway 483 Class 4-4-0 was a class of steam-driven locomotive designed by Henry Fowler for passenger work on the Midland Railway. The class were nominally "rebuilds" of various earlier classes designed by Samuel W. Johnson. This design formed the basis for the later LMS Class 2P 4-4-0.
Construction of the first batch was authorised by Midland Railway Order O/3942 dated 21 June 1911: Four more batches were authorised; in 1912, 1913, 1914 and 1922. The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) inherited these locomotives at the Grouping of the railways in 1923, completing the last of these rebuilds in 1924. Some of them entered British Railways (BR) ownership in 1948 but all were scrapped from 1950 to 1959.
