974501MR 483 No.502 Midland Railway Royal Train With DCC Sound Fitted
The Midland Railway 483 Class 4-4-0 was a class of steam-driven locomotive designed by Henry Fowler for passenger work on the Midland Railway. The class were nominally "rebuilds" of various earlier classes designed by Samuel W. Johnson. This design formed the basis for the later LMS Class 2P 4-4-0.
Construction of the first batch was authorised by Midland Railway Order O/3942 dated 21 June 1911: Four more batches were authorised; in 1912, 1913, 1914 and 1922. The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) inherited these locomotives at the Grouping of the railways in 1923, completing the last of these rebuilds in 1924. Some of them entered British Railways (BR) ownership in 1948 but all were scrapped from 1950 to 1959.

R30414LMS - Patriot Class - 'Holyhead' 5514
Henry Fowler designed the ‘Patriot’ 4-6-0 for the LMS as an upgrade of the LNWR’s ‘Large Claughton’ Class for express passenger work. Built at both Crewe and Derby Works, 42 and ten respectively, 52 entered service between 1930 and 1934. ‘Holyhead’ was new from Crewe in September 1932, numbered 5983, but this was changed to 5514 in August 1938, as represented by the model.
The locomotive would later be rebuilt with a Stanier taper boiler in 1947, before becoming BR 45514, with withdrawal coming at Derby in May 1961, the first of the rebuilt ‘Patriots’ to be condemned.

From there, it was withdrawn in November 1966 and subsequently scrapped at W.H. Arnott, Young at Co. Ltd, Carmyle, Glasgow the following February.
