LMS Kitson 0-4-0ST

The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Kitson 0-4-0ST was a class of 0-4-0 saddle tank steam locomotive designed for light shunting.

Five were originally designed and built by Kitson and Company of Leeds to LMS specification in 1932 and numbered 1500–1504.

British Railways (BR) added 40000 to their numbers after nationalization in 1948, becoming 47000–47004.

These differed from the original batch having shorter saddle tanks with extra space given to longer coal bunkers instead.

After problems of consistent accuracy of the drawings in the early books, later characters were based more closely on real locomotives.
