Development
Peter Robertson, the locomotive superintendent of the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway since 1840,remained in post following the merger of this railway with the Glasgow, Dumfries and Carlisle Railway to form the Glasgow and South Western Railway in 1850 until his resignation in 1853.. He ordered ten 0-4-0 locomotives with domeless boilers from R and W Hawthorn which were produced between August 1852 and December 1853. They were numbered 86-95, but the last two were renumbered 5 and 6 in 1854.[1]
Withdrawal
The class were withdrawn by James Stirling during 1872 and 1873.

gollark: That's generally what generates ominous crackling noises for me.
gollark: Did you try unplugging the power supply lead and plugging it back in?
