LMS Kitson 0-4-0ST
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Kitson 0-4-0ST was a class of 0-4-0 saddle tank steam locomotive designed for light shunting.
5 were originally designed and built by Kitson & Co. of Leeds to LMS specification in 1932 and numbered 1500-4. They were similar to other shunters built for industrial use. The LMS classified them 0F. These were later renumbered 7000-4 in 1935/1936. British Railways added 40000 to their numbers after nationalisation in 1948, becoming 47000-4. In 1955 BR constructed an additional five at Horwich Works, numbered 47005-9. These differed from the original batch having shorter saddle tanks with extra space given to longer coal bunkers instead.
Some saw use on the Cromford and High Peak Railway in Derbyshire. Withdrawals took place between 1963 and 1966. None have been preserved.
