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The locomotives were withdrawn by James Stirling between 1874 and 1876.

gollark: FUN FACT: Do not open an SQLite database connection, then fork(), then try to use that database connection in the child process. All kinds of locking problems will result and you can easily end up with a corrupt database. SQLite is not designed to support that kind of behavior. Any database connection that is used in a child process must be opened in the child process, not inherited from the parent.
gollark: XMLRPC is entirely bees, unrelatedly.
gollark: CSS can send GET requests, at least, but that's not very useful without other stuff.
gollark: The most I could do is probably include the blueness thing in a popular template and hope nobody notices.
gollark: All I've done for now is just make my user page mildly blue.
