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.
Patrick Stirling was appointed locomotive superintendent of the GSWR in 1853 and set about designing the new Kilmarnock Locomotive Works which was opened in 1856. This was his first class to be built at the works (Works Nos. 1-13). [1] Most members of the class had domeless boilers but some may have had domed boilers and column type safety valves above the firebox.
The class were withdrawn by James Stirling between 1874 and 1880.
The Great Northern Railway (GNR) Small Boiler Class C1 is a class of steam locomotive, the first 4-4-2 or Atlantic type in Great Britain. They were designed by Henry Ivatt in 1897. In total 22 were built between 1898 and 1903 at Doncaster Works. The class were commonly known as 'Klondykes' [sic], after the 1897 Klondike gold rush. They could reach speeds of up to 90 mph. They were also known as Small Atlantics.
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) 956 class was a class of four 2-2-2 steam locomotives designed in 1855.
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) 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 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 Great Northern Railway J14, later classified as J53 under LNER service, was a class of 52 0-6-0ST locomotives designed by Patrick Stirling and built at Doncaster Works by Neilson and Co and between 1892 and 1897.
