Locomotives no. 108 and 109 were a pair of Great Western Railway 2-4-0 steam locomotives built under the aegis of George Armstrong at Wolverhampton Works, probably in 1866–7, as replacements for locomotives of the same numbers inherited from the absorbed Birkenhead Railway.
Design
[edit ]They had 5 ft 0 in (1.524 m) diameter driving wheels and, unlike other GWR 2-4-0 s, only had inside frames. They were nominally rebuilds but only the wheels of the original locomotives seem to have been used.
Use
[edit ]They worked in the Chester area and were withdrawn in 1887.[1]
