0-6-4T Class 2000 "Flatiron" MR/LMS Profile and Models

The Midland Railway 2000 Class was a class of 40 0-6-4T steam locomotives designed by Richard Deeley. They were known as "flatirons" or "hole-in-the-wall tanks" because of their distinctive shape; their side tanks extended to the front of the smokebox and they had a distinct cut-out in the side tanks to access the motion. They were originally developed from 0-4-4T types designed for commuter work with an extra set of driving wheels. Acceleration and stability, however, were poor and, after a derailment, they were relegated to freight work. All were rebuilt with Belpaire firebox and superheater between 1920 and 1926. All were withdrawn between 1935 and 1938. The standard parts would have mostly been used for spares rather than scrap. None were preserved. (Information provided via Wikipedia)
