    The Midland Railway 2000 Class was a class of 40 0-6-4T steam locomotives designed by Richard Deeley. They were known as "flatirons" or "hole-in-the-wall tanks" because of their distinctive shape; their side tanks extended to the front of the smokebox and they had a distinct cut-out in the side tanks to access the motion. They were numbered 2000–2039.
    None survived into the B.R. era

    The Midland Railway 1528 class was a class of ten small 0-4-0T steam locomotives designed for shunting. They all remained in service until 1957, when withdrawals began, the last being withdrawn in 1966
    Ten were built in two batches; all at the Midland Railway's Derby Works: the first five, Nos 1528–1533, in 1907 on Derby order number 3031, and the second five, 1534–1537, in 1921–1922, with only minor detail differences between the batches.
    They all passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway at the grouping in 1923, keeping their Midland Railway numbers.
    After nationalisation in 1948, British Railways added 40000 to their numbers to become 41528–41537.
    Including this photo of
    41529 unknown location c1948 with B.R. number but with LMS still on side tanks
