    I have added 10 new photos of Kirtleys 690 + 780 Class 0-4-4T
    The Midland Railway 690 Class was a class of six 0-4-4T built by Beyer, Peacock and Company in 1869 for use in the London area.
    They were double-framed Kirtley engines with a back tank, i.e. the tank was placed beneath the bunker. The 780 Class was similar.
    Their original numbers were 690–695. In 1898 they were transferred to the duplicate list as 690A–695A. Their 1907 numbers were 1200–1205. All were inherited by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923. In 1930 the two remaining, 1201/3 were renumbered 1212/3. The final one was withdrawn in 1934. All were scrapped.
    The Midland Railway 780 Class was a class of 0-4-4T steam locomotives. They were built by Dubs & Co. in 1870, and were very similar to the 690 Class. Originally numbers 780–799. They were double-framed engines with a back tank behind the cab under the bunker. They were all originally fitted with condensing apparatus for working the Metropolitan lines.
    In 1898 Nos 780–783 were transferred to the duplicate list as Nos 780A–783A. Their 1907 numbers were 1206–1225. No. 1212 was withdrawn in 1921, but the remaining 19 were inherited by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway at the 1923 Grouping. They were all withdrawn, and were extinct by 1935.
