Absorbed Companies

[kingmush]

In 1923, the LMS took on the largest minority company undertaking in Britain. Absorbing 24 small railways and 8 larger companies, including the LNWR -the premier line- and the Midland Railway.

This thread is for those who would like to discuss these companies and their locomotives.
