Graceful class of eight-wheeled express engines, the No. 6 Class was a James Stirling design with twenty two built from 1873 at the G&SWR's Kilmarnock works, and perhaps his finest work then!

 As someone who appreciates the finest details of locomotive appearance, I have always put effort into researching the many locomotives I have built. I'm always open to discussion around railways, and teaching others about them.
If you spot a mistake, or perhaps can shed a new light on old builds, feel free to do so! learning about fascinating history and intricacies is always an experience i seek to enjoy!
