The Great Northern Railway (GNR) No. 1 class Stirling Single is a class of steam locomotive designed for express passenger work. Designed by Patrick Stirling they are characterised by a single pair of large driving wheels which led to the nickname eight-footer. Originally the locomotive was designed to carry up to 26 passenger carriages at an average speed of 47 miles per hour.
