What is it?
Built at the Midland Railway’s Derby Works under the auspices of Richard Deeley, a fleet of five powerful outside cylinder 0-4-0Ts appeared in 1907. The Midland 1528 Class was designed primarily for working within the confines of dockyards and other industrial locations with tightly curved track. The design proved successful enough to warrant a further batch of locomotives, built at Derby in the early 1920s, well after Deeley had resigned his post as locomotive superintendent.
