G&SWR 381 Class

The Glasgow and South Western Railway 381 class was the railway's first 4-6-0 design, with 17 members constructed between 1903 and 1911 under chief mechanical engineer James Manson to power the connecting express between Carlisle and Glasgow. The first ten were ordered from Sharp Stewart, which had been absorbed into the North British Locomotive Company by the time they were delivered in June 1903, so they carried North British works numbers; the last seven came from the railway's own Kilmarnock Works. The engines were the only class on the railway with Belpaire fireboxes and had eight-wheel bogie tenders. They passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923 and were all scrapped by 1934.
