Liverpool, Crosby & Southport 0-4-2 Locomotives in Great Britain
Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media
Class unknown (Locobase 8577)
Data from Vulcan Foundry website -- [
], accessed 14 July 2007. Boiler pressure is an estimate. Works numbers were 318-320 in 1848.
The drawing doesn't have much more than the data shown on the drawing, which notes it was identical to the Scottish Central locomotives shown in Locobase 8575. Unlike most 0-4-2s, these were described as "goods engines". They had long, slender boilers with widely set drivers.
