     Six express engines by R. Stephenson and Co., 1852, for the Midland Railway—Fig. 102—had 6ft. 8in. driving wheels and 16in. by 22in. cylinders. The wheel base was 15 ft. 6in., equally divided; total heating surface, 1097 square feet; weight in working order, 28 tons, of which 12 tons 3 cwt. were carried by the driving wheels. The inside frames terminated at the front of the fire-box casing.
     These engines may be compared with the contemporaneous Midland express engines by Sharp, Stewart & Co., illustrated by Fig. 103. In Stephenson’s engines the horn plates were much deeper and were connected together by tie rods of circular section. In Sharp’s engines shallow horns without tie rods were used.
     Many of these old single engines were capable of very good work with fairly heavy trains. In 1889 the writer saw Midland engine 133, one of the “Stephensons” just mentioned, on a fast train of eighteen six-wheeled coaches, weighing about 215 tons behind the tender, with which it kept time from Trent to Leicester at a booked speed of 44½ miles per hour. In estimating the value of such performances it must be not be forgotten that the resistance per ton of the old six-wheeled carriage stock was greater than that of modern bogie stock.
