The London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Hughes Crab or Horwich Mogul is a class of mixed traffic steam locomotives built between 1926 and 1932. They are noted for their appearance with large highly-angled cylinders caused by restricted loading gauge. Designed by George Hughes and built at the ex-L&YR works at Horwich and the ex-LNWR works at Crewe, they actually appeared after Hughes had retired and been replaced by Henry Fowler (engineer). Initially numbered 13000-244, as standard locomotives they were given the lower numbers 2700-2944 in the LMS 1933 renumbering scheme. After being taken into British Railways stock an additional 40000 was added to their numbers, becoming 42700-244. Some were rebuilt with Lentz valve gear. They were the basis for the LMS Stanier 2-6-0. Three have survived, these being the first member of the class 13000/(4)2700, and two more, 13065/(4)2765, and 13159/(4)2859. == References == * David Hunt, Bob Essery and Fred James ''LMS Locomotives No. 2 - The Horwich Moguls '' == External links == * [http://www.east-lancs-rly.co.uk/php/photoindex.php?collection=Farewell%20To%20The%20Crab&path=photos_Farewell_to_the_Crab some photos of 42765] London, Midland and Scottish Railway locomotives 2-6-0 locomotives
