Midland Counties Railway Locomotives . In its short life, the Midland Counties Railway bought nearly fifty steam locomotives from a number of manufacturers. Initially, outside-cylindered engines were ordered because of the frequency of crank axle breakage with inside cylinders. However, one of the sub-committee delegated to order the motive power, Theodore Rathbone, was an admirer of the Bury engines used on the London and Birmingham Railway , and all further orders were for inside-cylindered locos. The initial delivery of engines had 11-inch cylinders, but, being found to be short of power, further orders were for engines with 13-inch cylinders.

1. Ariel 2-2-2 built 1839 Driving wheels 5'0" diameter, Cylinders 11x16 (outside) (renamed Bee in 1841)
2. Hercules 2-2-2 built 1840 Driving wheels 5'6" diameter, Cylinders 13x18 (outside) Ariel hauled one of the inaugural trains from Nottingham to Derby , following Sunbeam. Nevertheless, the Butterley locos would not appear to have been satisfactory, since the railway refused to pay for them until the end of 1841.
