A good deal of the local and short-distance passenger work is performed by a very useful class of tank engine with leading and driving wheels coupled 5 ft. Sin. in diameter, and with 17.} in. by 26 in. cylinders. Another class has recently been built for the heaviest suburban work with cylinders 18 in. by 26 in., wheels 5 ft. 7 in. in diameter, and front and hind radial axles. The company's locomotive works are at Horwich. The brake used is the Automatic Vacuum. [115]
