MGWR Class 9

The Midland Great Western Railway (MGWR) Class 9 consisted of four engines built by Thomas Grendon and Company of Drogheda in the period 1855-1856. The MGWR Class 9 was the first 0-6-0 type on the MGWR. It has 5 feet 1 inch (1.55 m) driving wheels. They were ordered by Edward Wilson during his short tenure as Locomotive Superintendent from 1853. It is speculated Wilson had little to do with the design, especially as Robert Stephenson and Company had subcontracted an 0-6-0 build to Grendons at this time.
