The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 105 class was a class of four 0-4-2 steam locomotives designed in 1856.
Four examples of this class were designed by Patrick Stirling for the GSWR and were built at R & W Hawthorn (Works Nos. 950-3) between January and May 1856. They were numbered 105–108. [1] The members of the class were fitted with domed boilers and safety valves over the firebox.
Seven further examples were built in 1857 with a longer 7 ft 2.5 in (2.197 m) + 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) wheelbase as the 9 class.
The 105 class were withdrawn by James Stirling between 1884 and 1887.
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, 4-2-2 represents the wheel arrangement of four leading wheels on two axles, two powered driving wheels on one axle, and two trailing wheels on one axle.
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 Great Northern Railway J4 Class was a class of 322 0-6-0 steam locomotives, introduced in 1882 designed by Patrick Stirling for goods traffic. Just over half of these were rebuilt by Nigel Gresley to a design by Henry Ivatt between 1912 and 1929.
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) 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) 9 class was a class of seven 0-4-2 steam locomotives designed in 1857, as an enlarged version of the 105 class.
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 Beattie well tanks were a series of 111 steam locomotives of seven different designs produced for the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) between 1852 and 1875. All carried the water supply in well tanks, set low down between the frames. All had six wheels; the first three designs were of the 2-2-2WT wheel arrangement, the last four being 2-4-0WT. Most were designed by Joseph Hamilton Beattie, the LSWR Mechanical Engineer, but the last few locomotives built to the seventh design incorporated modifications made by his son and successor, William George Beattie. Most were intended for the LSWR's suburban services, but were later used elsewhere on the LSWR system before withdrawal. Apart from three locomotives which lasted until 1962, withdrawal occurred between 1871 and 1899.
