The class A of the Midland Railway of Western Australia consisted of nine Mikados built by Kitson & Co. in England. Three were delivered in 1926, three in 1927 and three in 1929. They had drivers of 3 ft 10 1/2 in and cylinders of 18 by 24 inches. They were all withdrawn in 1957 and 1958 and subsequently scrapped. So far there is only a short text for this vehicle. In the future it will be described in more detail.
