There followed a number of orders for the Stockton and Darlington Railway. They were great innovators - not always successfully - and their locos had many original features. In 1838 two were built for the broad gauge Great Western Railway to the patent of T.E.Harrison, who later became the chief engineer for the North Eastern Railway (UK). These could be viewed as the forerunners of the Garratt, with the boiler carried on a separate carriage to the cylinders and valvegear. This allowed the boiler to be large and low down, being carried on smaller wheels, while the driving wheels could be up to ten feet in diameter. With little weight on the drivers, adhesion was poor, but they ran very smoothly up to sixty miles per hour. However, the flexible steam coupling gave a great deal of trouble and they were withdrawn. The Stockton and Darlington railway (S&DR), which opened in 1825, was the first railway to use steam locomotives and carry passengers. ... | Jöns Jakob Berzelius, discoverer of protein 1838 was a common year starting on Monday (see link for calendar). ...

They continued to build more conventional engines, possibly under sub-contract, among them, three for the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway. In 1846 they bought the Leith Engine Works, in Leith, Scotland, for the assembly of locomotives prepared in Newcastle. In 1850 the works were sold to another company also called Hawthorns and Company, which produced some four hundred locomotives on its own account until 1872.

In the 1850s, they built a number of Crampton type locomotives, and in the quest for a low centre of gravity, four 0-4-0s with the drivers spaced at twelve feet apart connected to the cylinders by a dummy crankshaft. These were soon withdrawn, but the Cramptons were more successful, particularly on the continent. 1850 was a common year starting on Tuesday (see link for calendar). ...

The company continued making locomotives, among them a 4-2-2-0 with for cylinders - two inside and two outside - connected separately to the two pairs of driving wheels. It was produced for the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 but could not produce sufficient steam to compete effectively with the American products. In 1915 F.G.Smith of the Highland Railway ordered six 4-6-0s to his own designs. Being rejected by that railway as being too heavy, they were taken over by the Caledonian Railway.
