Left: GNR "Stirling Single" 4-2-2 and Right: Emily, the engine's inspired television counterpart
The GNR “Stirling Single” with single 8' 1" driver was designed by Patrick Stirling, and built in 1878 at Doncaster. Stirling combined trusted technology of the day to create a thoroughbred masterpiece which smashed records in the “Race to the North”. As a GN express passenger engine it was a lineal ancestor of Gresley's famous A3 and A4 pacifics. No 1 here is part of the National Collection in York and is currently in steam.
