The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 9 class was a class of seven 0-4-2 steam locomotives designed in 1857, as an enlarged version of the 105 class.
The seven examples of this class were designed by Patrick Stirling for the GSWR and were built by Neilson and Company (Works Nos. 398-404) between November and December 1857. They were numbered 9, 14, 15, 17, 20, 30, and 33. [1] The members of the class were fitted with domed boilers and safety valves over the firebox.
No 174 was withdrawn after an accident at Dalbeattie in 1874, and No.20 suffered a boiler explosion at Springhill, Glasgow in March 1876. The remainder were withdrawn by James Stirling between 1874 and 1876.
James Stirling (1835–1917) was a Scottish mechanical engineer. He was Locomotive Superintendent of the Glasgow and South Western Railway and later the South Eastern Railway. Stirling was born on 2 October 1835, a son of Robert Stirling, rector of Galston, East Ayrshire.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 187 class were a class of 0-4-2 steam locomotives designed for mixed traffic duties, by James Stirling in 1870. They formed a model for large numbers of similar 0-4-2 mixed traffic locomotives subsequently built on GSWR and other British railways.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 86 class was a class of ten 0-4-0 steam locomotives designed in 1852.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 956 class was a class of four 2-2-2 steam locomotives designed in 1855.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 2 class was a class of thirteen 2-2-2 steam locomotives designed in 1857 by Patrick Stirling and intended for express passenger duties.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 40 class was a class of ten 2-2-2 steam locomotives designed in 1860, a development of the 2 class intended for express passenger duties.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 45 class was a class of eleven 2-2-2 steam locomotives designed in 1865, an enlarged version of his 40 class intended for express passenger duties.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 99 class was a class of four 0-2-2-0 steam locomotives designed in 1855.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 105 class was a class of four 0-4-2 steam locomotives designed in 1856.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 34 class was a class of ten 0-4-2 steam locomotives designed in 1858.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 23 class is a class of twenty 0-4-2 steam locomotives designed in 1860. They were by Patrick Stirling's fourth 0-4-2 design for the railway.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 131 class was a class of ten 0-4-2 steam locomotives designed in 1864. They were by Patrick Stirling's fifth 0-4-2 design for the railway.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 52 class was a class of six 0-4-0 steam goods locomotives designed in 1864, by Patrick Stirling. The design was later continued by a similar design by his brother James Stirling.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 58 class was a class of six 0-6-0 steam locomotives designed in 1862. They were Patrick Stirling’s third 0-6-0 design for the railway.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 103 class was a class of two 0-6-0 steam locomotives designed in 1855. They were Patrick Stirling's first 0-6-0 design for the railway.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 141 class was a class of ten 0-4-2 steam locomotives designed in 1866. They were by Patrick Stirling's sixth 0-4-2 design for the railway.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 6 class were a class of twenty-two 4-4-0 steam locomotives built in 1873. They were designed by James Stirling to handle express passenger trains taken over from the Midland Railway at Carlisle between there and Glasgow on the newly opened Glasgow and Kilmarnock Joint Railway.
The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 8 class were a class of sixteen 2-4-0 steam locomotives built between 1868 and 1870.
The LCDR Brigand class was a pair of steam locomotives of the 0-4-2 wheel arrangement supplied to the London, Chatham and Dover Railway (LCDR). They were designed by Patrick Stirling for the Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR), which ordered twenty in 1860 from Sharp, Stewart & Co.. At this time, the LCDR needed more locomotives but had little money available, so their locomotive superintendent, William Martley, visited various manufacturers to find out what was available quickly and cheaply. He arranged for two of the locomotives ordered by the GSWR to be delivered instead to the LCDR – they arrived in August 1861, two more being ordered from Sharp, Stewart for the GSWR as replacements.
The SER A class was a class of 4-4-0 locomotives on the South Eastern Railway.
