Development
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.
Withdrawal
The 105 class were withdrawn by James Stirling between 1884 and 1887.
