LMS Class 2P 4-4-0

The numbering continued from where the Midland engines left off at 563 and eventually reached 700.

[1] Numbers 591 and 639 were withdrawn in 1934 after being heavily damaged in an accident at Port Eglinton Junction near Cumberland Street Station, Glasgow on 6 September of the same year.

After nationalisation in 1948, British Railways added 40000 to the numbers of the remaining 136 engines.

Hornby produce a 00 gauge model based on the old Dapol (formerly Airfix) tooling which is reasonably accurate.

[2] Graham Farish produced an N gauge model of the 4P 4-4-0 Compound when they were in Poole, Dorset, and the chassis for this could be modified to represent the 2P.
