They are sometimes included with the earlier [[Midland Railway 1823 Class|1823 Class]] or the later [[Midland Railway 2228 Class|2228 Class]].

==Construction== Originally built in two batches: numbers 1833–1842 and 2013–2022 were built in 1892 by [[Dübs and Company]] and 2218–2227 in 1893 by [[Neilson and Company]]. The [[Midland Railway 2228 Class|2228 Class]] followed in 1895. In the [[Locomotives of the Midland Railway#Numbering and classification|1907 Midland Railway renumbering scheme]] these became numbers 1351–1380. They retained their numbers through the LMS period.

==BR Service== Fourteen survived to be inherited by BR in 1948; numbers 1353/57/58/60/65–68/70/71/73/75/77/79. In March 1948 BR allocated them the numbers 58059–58072 to make room for [[LMS Ivatt Class 2 2-6-2T]] locomotives, but only eleven actually received their new numbers. [[File:Ashchurch 22 railway geograph-2224064.jpg|thumb|left|58071 with the Johnson boiler and condensing gear. Ashchurch - Tewkesbury - Great Malvern line in 1951.]] They were built with typical Midland-pattern Johnson boilers with the flared safety valve housing. Some were later rebuilt with LMS pattern boilers with a [[Belpaire firebox]] and smaller [[pop safety valve|pop valve]]s. Some had condensing gear fitted for working the '[[Widened Lines]]' tunnels of the [[Metropolitan Railway]].

==Withdrawal==

They were all withdrawn between 1928 and 1959. None has been preserved.
