The "long boiler" design dated back to a Stephenson design of 1841. At that time there was a controversy about keeping the centre of gravity low. The other point of view was espoused by John Gray who set out to improve efficiency and increase the pressure in shorter boilers using single drivers instead of coupled wheels. His ideas led to the design of the highly successful Jenny Lind locomotive. take you to calendar). ...

Nevertheless the long boiler design with coupled wheels continued for slower heavier work , as with the NER 1001 class, of which 192 were built from 1852 by a number of private manufacturers, as well as the company's own works at Darlington and Shildon. 1852 was a leap year starting on Thursday (see link for calendar). ...

Shildon railway works began in 1826 in the town of Shildon in County Durham, in England Shildon was the terminus of the Stockton & Darlington Railway, when it opened in 1825. ...

The small size of the firebox would seem remarkable in later years, but the engines were ideal where trains might spend long periods standing, waiting for a path, or when shunting. A minumum amount of fuel would have delivered sufficient heat to the large boiler to start heavy loads.

The last ten were delivered in 1875 but many were rebullt in the following twenty five years, the last to be retired in 1923. 1875 was a common year starting on Friday (see link for calendar). ... 1923 was a common year starting on Monday (link will take you to calendar). ...
