The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 956 class was a class of four 2-2-2 steam locomotives designed in 1855.
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.[1] They were numbered 95–98.
Withdrawal
The class was withdrawn by James Stirling during 1874–5.
