The [Midland Railway](/source/Midland_Railway) **2228 Class** was a class of [0-4-4T](/source/0-4-4T) [side tank](/source/Side_tank) [steam locomotive](/source/Steam_locomotive) designed by [Samuel Johnson](/source/Samuel_Waite_Johnson). They were given the [power classification](/source/Power_classification) 1P.

## Overview

They were a follow-on to the [1823 class](/source/Midland_Railway_1823_Class) of 1889–1893, and were the Midland's last order of 0-4-4T locomotive, though the LMS did build [some class 2 0-4-4Ts](/source/LMS_Stanier_Class_2_0-4-4T) in 1932/3.

A total of fifty were built: two batches of twenty from [Dübs and Company](/source/D%C3%BCbs_and_Company) of Glasgow, were separated by an order of 10 from [Derby Works](/source/Derby_Works).

Table of orders and numbers[1] Original No. 1907 (& LMS) No. Manufacturer Works Nos. Year Notes 2228–2232 1381–1385 Dübs & Co. 3215–3219 1895 2233–2247 1386–1400 Dübs & Co. 3200–3214 1895 690–695 1401–1406 Derby Works (order No. 1602) 1898 780–783 1407–1410 Derby Works (order No. 1602) 1898 2611–2630 1411–1430 Dübs & Co. 3898–3917 1900

All were in service at the 1907 renumbering, and all passed to the [London, Midland and Scottish Railway](/source/London%2C_Midland_and_Scottish_Railway) at the [1923 Grouping](/source/1923_Grouping). Withdrawals started in 1930, and twenty locomotives were still in [LMS stock at the end of 1947](/source/List_of_LMS_locomotives_as_of_1947-12-31), to be inherited by [British Railways](/source/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No. 1385 was withdrawn in January 1948, and in March the remaining nineteen (1382/89/90/96/97, 1402/06/11/13/16/20–26/29/30) were allocated the BR numbers 58073–58091, although four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 The last, 58087 was withdrawn in August 1960.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.
