Caption | 0-6-0 all-purpose locomotive of typical British design with internal drive and internal control, which was ordered by the small and always financially very tight Girvan & Portpatrick Joint Railway on the Scottish west coast, but was delivered directly to the successor company Ayrshire ans Wigtownshire Railway. This company was also absorbed into the G&SWR (Glasgow and South Western Railway) after a short time. Apparently there were only two such machines, the rest of the locomotive fleet (a few pieces) seems to have been hired. The large wheel diameter of the "six wheeler" in continental eyes underlines its rather universal usability. |
Caption (German) | 0-6-0 Allzwecklokomotive typisch britischer Machart mit Innenantrieb und Innensteuerung, welche zwar von der kleinen und finanziell immer sehr klammen Girvan & Portpatrick Joint Railway an der schottischen Westküste geordert wurde, aber direkt an die Nachfolgegesellschaft Ayrshire ans Wigtownshire Railway geliefert wurde. Auch diese Gesellschaft ging nach kurzer Zeit in der G&SWR auf (Glasgow and South Western Railway). Offenbar gab es nur zwei solcher Maschinen, der übrige Lokomotivpark (wenige Stück) scheint gemietet gewesen zu sein. Der in kontinentalen Augen grosse Raddurchmesser des "six wheeler"s unterstreicht dessen recht universelle Verwendbarkeit |
