The
Midland Railway '3835 Class' is a class of 0-6-0
steam locomotive designed for freight work. The first two were introduced in
1911 by
Henry Fowler. After the
grouping in
1923 they continued to be built up to
1941 by the
LMS, as the
LMS Fowler 4F.
The 192 engines were numbered 3835-4026. After nationalisation in 1948
British Railways added 40000 to their numbers so they became 43835-44026.
