Remarks: The second class of the four-cylinder Double Fairlie type, were rather showy little locomotives but they were notable in that they were the first British-built locomotives to be equipped with Walschaerts valve motion. Not a popular type, because of their small boilers and limited power, they had trouble maintaining steam supply on heavy grades. . |
