[edit] Really the only single stirling left?
I'm not a train buff, but the Science Museum in London has what appears to be a different Single Stirling locomotive. See the picture on this page. There doesn't seem to be a number on it - 1868 is presumably the year of construction, matching the date in the article. If it's useful, I am the copyright owner of that photo, and it can be freely used. Mail me as jifl, followed by the at, followed by jifvik.org, if you want more official confirmation.
- This is the LNWR 2-2-2 "Columbine". To see details go here [1], enter 1868 in the "Locomotive Number" box and click "Start searching". Biscuittin 10:57, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
LNWR No. 1868 was formerly Grand Junction Railway No. 49. Here is another photo [2] Biscuittin 12:43, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Locomotive Classification
Is Class 7P really correct?? That would be the size of, say the SR "Battle of Britain" class, I think. Shouldn't it rather be Class 1P?
