The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 34 class is a class of ten 0-4-2 steam locomotives designed in 1858.

Development

The ten examples of this class were designed by Patrick Stirling for the GSWR and were built by R & W Hawthorn (Works Nos. 1034-43) between July 1858 and January 1859. They were numbered 34, 36, 32, 25, 110-115.[1] The members of the class were fitted with domeless boilers and safety valves over the firebox.

Withdrawal

The locomotives were withdrawn by James Stirling between 1874 and 1876.
