Development

The ten examples of this class were designed by Patrick Stirling for the GSWR and were built by R & W Hawthorn (Works Nos. 1034-43) between July 1858 and January 1859. They were numbered 34, 36, 32, 25, 110-115. The members of the class were fitted with domeless boilers and safety valves over the firebox.

Withdrawal

The locomotives were withdrawn by James Stirling between 1874 and 1876.
