G&SWR 131 and 137 Class 4-4-0

Steam and Early Locomotives

The Glasgow and South Western Railway 131 Class and 137 Class were two closely related classes of 4-4-0 steam locomotives designed by Peter Drummond. A total of 12 locomotives were built between 1913 and 1915, some by the North British Locomotive Company at its Queens Park works and others by the railway at its Kilmarnock works. Originally the 131 and 137 classes, they became the 331 and 325 classes in 1919 and passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923 with the 3P power classification. The 137 class was a great improvement over the 131, fast and very economical in coal and water. They were withdrawn and scrapped between 1934 and 1937.
