The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 99 class was a class of four 0-2-2-0 steam locomotives designed in 1855.
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The design was apparently unsuccessful, and all were withdrawn by James Stirling in 1866 and 1867.
