They were given the [[power classification]] 1P.

==Overview== They were a follow-on to the [[Midland Railway 1823 Class|1823 class]] of 1889–1893, and were the Midland's last order of 0-4-4T locomotive, though the LMS did build [[LMS Stanier Class 2 0-4-4T|some class 2 0-4-4Ts]] in 1932/3.

A total of fifty were built: two batches of twenty from [[Dübs and Company]] of Glasgow, were separated by an order of 10 from [[Derby Works]].

All were in service at the 1907 renumbering, and all passed to the [[London, Midland and Scottish Railway]] at the [[1923 Grouping]]. Withdrawals started in 1930, and twenty locomotives were still in [[List of LMS locomotives as of 1947-12-31|LMS stock at the end of 1947]], to be inherited by [[British Railways]].

==Withdrawal== No. 1385 was withdrawn in January 1948, and in March the remaining nineteen (1382/89/90/96/97, 1402/06/11/13/16/20–26/29/30) were allocated the BR numbers 58073–58091, although four did not receive their BR numbers before their withdrawal. The last, 58087 was withdrawn in August 1960. All members of the class were scrapped.
