[[File: 41000_20110429.jpg |thumb|200px300px|right| Midland Compound No. 1000 in the Engine House in April 2011]]'''Midland Compound No . 1000 ''' was resident on the SVR between 2007 and 2011.
The Midland Railway 1000 Class of 4-4-0 steam locomotive was designed by S.W. Johnson for passenger work. The locomotives had a 3-cylinder compound arrangement, with one high pressure cylinder inside the frames, and two low pressure cylinders outside. After 5 were built, Johnson's successor Richard Deeley modified the design to produce an enlarged and simplified version.
No . 1000 4-4-0 was the first original Johnson design locomotive, built at Derby in 1902 and originally numbered 2631. It was renumbered 1000 in 1907, and rebuilt at Derby in 1914 to incorporate the Deeley modifications. The locomotive continued in use as No 1000 in the LMS fleet following grouping in 1923, and was renumbered as 41000 by BR following nationalisation. The locomotive was finally withdrawn and set aside for preservation in 1951.
No . 1000 has been steamed in preservation, but was loaned to the SVR by including an appearance in the '[[NRMRocket 150]] ' cavalcades at Rainhill in 2007 as a static exhibit for display in the Engine House1980. <gallery mode=packed heights=200px style="text-align:left">File:MR No 1000 at Rainhill.
