Locomotive Roster 1944

This is a list of LMS classes of locomotive operational in 1944. The list is based around the numbering of the locomotives at this point in time which explains why types seem to jump around somewhat. The 1944 ABC is a little vague in some areas especially with regards to design credit, so if I have misinterpreted the information, I apologise.

Notes

1) The standard method of steam locomotive classification is used in most cases, with a number relating to the locomotive's power (0 being the least powerful, 7 being the most) followed by the letter 'P' for passenger or 'F' for freight. The exceptions are non-standard classifications provided by myself for reference, and are as follows.

D : Diesel
DE : Diesel Electric
RM : Rail Motor
CE : Crane Engine
DR : Diesel Railcar
DAS : Diesel Articulated 3-Car Set
XP : Express passenger

The Fowler 0-10-0 banker is not given a classification, presumably as it was a one-off engine built specifically for use as a banking engine.

2) I have classed 6202 a.ka "Turbomotive" a.k.a "Princess Anne" as a separate class to the remainder of the "Princess Royal" class, mainly due to the nature of its power plant, but partly due to the fact that one source refers to it becoming the sole example of the "Princess Anne" class after its 1952 British Rail rebuild.

3) Designers

Hughes, Fowler, Stanier, Ivatt : as detailed in "The CMEs"

Aspinall : J.A.F Aspinall (Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway)
Barton Wright : W Barton Wright (Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway)
Bowen Cooke : C.J Bowen-Cooke (London & North Western Railway)
Deeley : R M Deeley (Midland Railway)
D Drummond : Dugald Drummond (Caledonian Railway)
P Drummond : Peter Drummond (Glasgow & South Western Railway, Highland Railway)
Johnson : S W Johnson (Midland Railway)
Kirtley : M Kirtley (Midland Railway)
McIntosh : J F McIntosh (Caledonian Railway)
Park : J C Park (North London Railway)
Pettigrew : W F Pettigrew (Furness Railway)
Pickersgill : W Pickersgill (Caledonian Railway)
Smith : F G Smith (Highland Railway)
Webb : F.W. Webb (London & North Western Railway)
Whitelegg : T Whitelegg/R.H Whitelegg (London Tilbury & Southend)
Whale : G Whale (London & North Western Railway)

4) Wheel Arrangements

As per the standard Whyte Notation. Where a steam classification is used (0-7,'F' or 'P') and no letter is added to a wheel arrangement, the locomotive uses a tender.

T : Tank engine
ST : Staddle Tank

5) Ivatt locomotives

The number of locomotives for each of the three Ivatt designs is the number built up to 1947. More of each design was produced after nationalisation.
