The **Midland Railway 480 Class** was a class of [double framed](/source/Double_frame) [0-6-0](/source/0-6-0) [steam locomotive](/source/Steam_locomotive), designed by [Matthew Kirtley](/source/Matthew_Kirtley) for the [Midland Railway](/source/Midland_Railway) of Britain. They were built between 1863 and 1868.

## Development

They were a development of the [240 Class](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Midland_Railway_240_Class&action=edit&redlink=1), with curved frames, and were themselves developed into the [700 Class](/source/Midland_Railway_700_Class).

## Ownership

In total, 237 were built. Most survived to [London, Midland and Scottish Railway](/source/London%2C_Midland_and_Scottish_Railway) (LMS) ownership in 1923, but only three survived the mass withdrawals of the late 1920s and early 1930s.

## Numbering

After the Midland Railway's 1907 renumbering scheme, the numbers were:

- 2398–2591 and

- 2672–2686

This totals 209 locomotives, as 28 had been withdrawn between 1902 and 1906.
