List of LMS locomotives as of 31 December 1947

The LMS numbered self-propelled vehicles (diesel railcars, EMUs) into the coaching stock series, with the exception of the L&YR Railmotors.

In terms of locomotive taxonomy, the LMS had a tendency to lump classes together (e.g. Sentinels, diesel shunters, ex-Midland 0-4-4Ts), but for clarity these have been split into subclasses where appropriate.

Class WT locomotives were built at Derby Works in England to the design of George Ivatt between 1946 and 1950.

A tank engine did not require turning at termini and the LMS had produced a series of successful 2-6-4Ts.

Like the LMS Fairburn 2-6-4T built at the same time, they had a hopper bunker and absence of plating ahead of the cylinders.

In early 1966 and towards the end of their careers, the Class WT locomotives were involved in working notable traffic.

This was on spoil trains that transported fill for motorway construction from the Blue Circle cement works at Magheramorne to Greencastle near Belfast.

Three trains of twenty hopper wagons each were made up, with a Class WT locomotive at each end.

The RPSI is also looking at the possibility of building a new member of the class (No.58) to give them a second mainline tank locomotive considering the low availability of turntables on modern day lines.

Earl of Ulster no 97 was seen frequently on goods trains passing through Goraghwood railway station.
