Development
Patrick Stirling was appointed locomotive superintendent of the GSWR in 1853 and this was his first design. They had domed boilers and column-type safety valves above the firebox (steam engine).[1] They were numbered 95–98.
Withdrawal
The class was withdrawn by James Stirling during 1874–5.
