The Midland Railway 1116A Class was a class of 0-4-0ST for shunting. Ten were built at Derby in the 1890s, five in 1893 and five in 1897. They were closely related to the 1322 and 1134A classes.

Construction history

The ten locomotives were built at Derby Works in two batches of 5 each in 1893 and 1897. They were numbered initially as 1116A–1120A, 2359–2360 and 1131A–1133A, the A suffix indicating the duplicate list. They were renumbered as 1508–1517 in 1907.

Disposal

All were still in service at the Midland's 1907 renumbering. The first locomotive was withdrawn in 1921, leaving nine to pass to the LMS at the 1923 grouping. All but one were withdrawn by 1936, with the survivor being retired in 1955, having been renumbered 41516 by British Railways. All members of the class were scrapped.
