Ex-LMS 4-4-0 4P No 40928 stands light engine on the centre
road between platforms 9 and 10 at New Street station. Built as LMS No 928 in
June 1927 by the Vulcan Foundry, this Compound locomotive was to gain its
British Railways number in December 1949 which it carried until March 1958 when
it was withdrawn from 21A Saltley shed. One hundred and ninety-five engines
were built by the LMS, adding to the forty-five Midland Railway 1000 Class
locomotives, to which they were almost identical. The most obvious difference
between the two was the driving wheel diameter, reduced from 7 ft 0 in on the
Midland locomotives to 6 ft 9 in on the LMS version. They were given the power
classification 4P. The LMS continued the Midland numbering from No 1045 to No
1199 and then started in the lower block of No 900 to No 939.
