LCDR Brigand class

The LCDR Brigand class was a pair of steam locomotives of the 0-4-2 wheel arrangement supplied to the London, Chatham and Dover Railway. Patrick Stirling designed them for the Glasgow and South Western Railway, which ordered twenty from Sharp, Stewart and Company in 1860. The Dover railway needed engines quickly and had little money, so its locomotive superintendent William Martley arranged for two of those ordered to be delivered to it instead, arriving in August 1861, with two more ordered for the Glasgow company as replacements. Numbered 1 and 2 in 1875, they were rebuilt in 1884 and 1890, passed to the South Eastern and Chatham Railway in 1899, and were withdrawn in May 1903. Their names came from the first two Great Western Railway Bogie Class engines.
