Notes
- Namur was tested over 2,300 miles (3,700 km) on the Grand Junction Railway and ultimately purchased by SER, speeds up to 62 miles per hour (100 km/h) were recorded. Delivery of Liege to Belgium was delayed, and her ultimate fate is uncertain.
- The LNWR obtained two other Crampton-type locomotives: Courier, 4-2-0, built at Crewe Works in 1847 and Liverpool, 6-2-0, built by Bury, Curtis, and Kennedy.
- LNWR No.200 London, larger boiler and cylinders than Namur. Later rebuilt as an 0-4-2.
- Dundee and Perth and Aberdeen Junction Railway, absorbed by the Scottish Central Railway in 1863
