The Midland Railway 1377 Class is a class of steam locomotive. They were introduced in 1878 by Samuel W. Johnson based on an earlier 1874 design. Up to 1891 185 were built: 165 by Derby Works and the last 20 by the Vulcan Foundry. Most were built without a rear to the cab and only a short cab roof hence their nickname half-cabs though about 40 were built with full cabs. Originally they were built with round-topped fireboxes but many later received Belpaire fireboxes.
