Development
Four examples of class designed by Patrick Stirling were built for the GSWR by R and W Hawthorn between April and August 1855.[1] Little is known about the class which is variously described as having a "dummy crank"[2] or a "crank axle."[1]
Withdrawal
The members of the class were apparently not successful and all were withdrawn by James Stirling during 1866 and 1867.
