The [Glasgow and South Western Railway](/source/Glasgow_and_South_Western_Railway) (GSWR) **141 class** was a class of ten [0-4-2](/source/0-4-2) steam locomotives designed in 1866. They were by [Patrick Stirling](/source/Patrick_Stirling_(railway_engineer))'s sixth 0-4-2 design for the railway.

## Development

The ten examples of this class were designed by [Patrick Stirling](/source/Patrick_Stirling_(railway_engineer)) for the GSWR and were built by [Neilson and Company](/source/Neilson_and_Company) (Works Nos. 1226-35) in 1866. They were numbered 141–50.[1] The members of the class were fitted with [domeless](/source/Steam_dome) [boilers](/source/Boiler) and [safety valves](/source/Safety_valve) over the [firebox](/source/Firebox_(steam_engine)), these were later replaced by those of [Ramsbottom](/source/John_Ramsbottom_(engineer)) design over the centre of the boiler following a boiler explosion at [Springhill](/source/Springhill%2C_Glasgow) in 1876.[2] The original weather boards were also replaced by Stirling cabs.

Four of the class were rebuilt as 0-4-2 [tank locomotives](/source/Tank_locomotive) between 1880 and 1886.

## Withdrawal

The bulk of the class, including all the rebuilds were withdrawn between 1900 and 1913. However, two examples survived into [London Midland and Scottish Railway](/source/London_Midland_and_Scottish_Railway) ownership and were withdrawn in 1923 and 1924 respectively.
