The Class 2 locomotive, a remarkable creation of the Midland Railway, was a powerful and efficient steam engine that played a significant role in revolutionizing transportation during its time. One notable example is the Midland Railway 4-4-0 steam locomotive number 1738, which was built in Derby in November 1885. This magnificent machine showcased the engineering prowess of its creators and became an iconic symbol of progress. Another noteworthy member of this class is the Midland Railway Class 3, 4-4-0 steam locomotive number 740. Originally built as number 830 in Derby in 1903, it exemplified the continuous improvements made by the company over time. Similarly, we cannot overlook locomotive number 336 from the same class - a true workhorse that tirelessly served its purpose on countless journeys. In September, another masterpiece emerged from Derby: the Midland Railway Class 3, 4-4-0 steam locomotive number 864. Its construction marked yet another milestone for this esteemed railway company and further solidified their reputation for excellence. Amongst these impressive machines stands out locomotive number 139 from the Class 2 series - a testament to durability and reliability. Built with precision and care, it effortlessly transported passengers across vast distances without fail. Drawing inspiration from earlier models like locomotive number1563 (built in Derby in1882), or numbered1667 (originally known as Number483), each iteration of these engines pushed boundaries and set new standards within their class. Locomotives such as numbers375, 1566, and518 were also part of this exceptional fleet; they embodied power combined with elegance while gracefully traversing railways throughout their service lives. The legacy left behind by these incredible machines continues to captivate enthusiasts even today.
