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

Famous quotes containing the words locomotive and/or list:
“The American people have done much for the locomotive, and the locomotive has done much for them.”
—James A. Garfield (1831–1881)
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
