The L&YR Class 3 was a class of 4-4-0 steam locomotives of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. It was introduced in 1891. Forty locomotives were built and 34 passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway at the grouping in 1923.[1]
Rebuilds
Six locomotives were rebuilt with superheaters by George Hughes between 1908 and 1909 and became L&YR Class 4.
Numbering
The L&YR numbered them 1093-1229 and then randomly, using numbers between 318 and 498. The LMS numbered its 34 Class 3 locomotives 10150-10183. The six which had been rebuilt to Class 4 were numbered in a separate series, LMS 10190-10195.
Withdrawal
Withdrawals began in 1925 and the last locomotive was withdrawn in 1930. None is preserved.
