31-479ASFLNWR G2A 49164 BR Black (Late Crest) With DCC Sound Fitted
The London & North Western Railway (LNWR) had an long history of producing 0-8-0 tender freight engines with the first prototype design emerging in 1892, and the last, the G2, appearing in the early 1920s. The G2 was a class of 60 brand new steam locomotives built between 1921-22, and with a boiler generating a pressure of 175psi, they were the most powerful design the LNWR had ever constructed. From 1924 onwards, the G2s were rebuilt with a belpaire boiler which improved performance even further. The entire class passed into BR ownership in 1948, with the first withdrawals beginning in 1959 and the last in 1964. One example, No. 49395 has been preserved as part of the National Collection, where it has been restored to running order.

31-740AMR 1532 Tank 1725 Midland Railway Crimson Lake
The Class 1532 was designed by Samuel W. Johnson for the Midland Railway (MR) and 65 locomotives were built at the MR’s Derby Works between 1881 and 1886. Tank engines with a 0-4-4 wheel formation were the Midland’s principle suburban and branch line passenger locomotive and so the 1532s were joined by several other very similar classes; by 1900 the railway had a fleet of more than 200 0-4-4Ts of comparable types.
The Class 1532s were built across five batches and two of the batches included locomotives fitted with condensing gear, in total ten examples were equipped in order to work through the Metropolitan Railway tunnels around London. Other locomotives were fitted with push-pull gear, evidenced by the additional apparatus fitted to the smokebox and the extra vacuum pipes adorning the bufferbeams, along with cab roof fittings that allowed the whistle to be controlled remotely.
Upon Grouping in 1923 the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) inherited 62 locomotives which they classified as 1Ps. Two examples had already been withdrawn by the MR and a third was sold to the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway (SDJR), this would be absorbed into LMS stock in 1930.
