The Midland Railway 480 Class was a class of double framed 0-6-0 steam locomotive, designed by Matthew Kirtley for the Midland Railway of Britain. They were built between 1863 and 1868.

Development

They were a development of the 240 Class, with curved frames, and were themselves developed into the 700 Class.

Ownership

In total, 237 were built. Most survived to London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) ownership in 1923, but only three survived the mass withdrawals of the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Numbering

After the Midland Railway's 1907 renumbering scheme, the numbers were:

  • 2398–2591 and
  • 2672–2686

This totals 209 locomotives, as 28 had been withdrawn between 1902 and 1906.
