Stockton & Darlington 2-4-0 Locomotives in Great_Britain


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Stephenson (Locobase 10260)

Data from "Early Stockton & Darlington Locomotives", The Locomotive Magazine,Vol VIII (24 Jan 1903), p.61

These were originally purchased by the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway for passenger work, but the S & D, which bought them in 1851, used them for freight. The locomotive's tall dome sat well forward, just behind the stack. Two more with inside cylinders and similar dimensions -- Woodlands and Hallgarth -- were produced by Hopetown Foundry under Alfred Kitching's directions.
