The Midland Railway owned many different types of rolling stock. During the first World War, the North Western Railway was heavily worked with locomotives and rolling stock borrowed from the Midland and Furness Railways. By 1921, most of these locomotives and rolling stock had to be returned and replacements needed to be found.
