Introduced post-grouping in 1928 the 2Ps dimensions were modified from the 482 class and the boiler mountings were reduced.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween 1928 and 1931, 128 2P locomotives were produced at either Crewe or Derby Locomotive Works. The locomotive layout was a basic and well-proven two inside frame cylinder design, characteristic of the Midland Railway's design philosophy.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to being employed by the LMS, three of the locomotives, numbers 44-46 were allocated from new to the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway (S\u0026amp;DJR) however once the LMS assumed responsibility for the motive power on the line in 1930 they were absorbed into the LMS fleet as numbers 633-635.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere loads dictated, 2Ps were often run double-headed primarily as the LMS had a shortage of larger heavy-duty or express locomotives to serve such services.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically painted in basic clack livery by the LMS, other colour schemes did prevail. The S\u0026amp;DJR locomotives were painted in Prussian Blue and in later BR days the locomotives were appropriately lined out for mixed traffic working in accordance with British Railway policy.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir use on the steeply graded S\u0026amp;DJR between Bournemouth West and Bath Green Park was a particularly interesting development, given their larger 6ft 6½in diameter driving wheels were not considered ideal for such lines.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll but two of the locomotives would make it into BR service with the final 15 scrapings taking place in 1962. No members of the class were preserved and as of 2022, there is no new build project underway for the 2P.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocomotive number 46 was delivered straight to the Somerset and Dorset Joint railway in 1928, being painted into the 'Prussian Blue' livery with SDJR lettering. After amalgamation onto the LMS fleet in 1930 the locomotive would be renumbered to 580, and then to 635 in 1934. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn entry to BR service, the locomotive would become 40635.
