The Firefly was a class of broad gauge 2-2-2 steam locomotives used for passenger services on the Great Western Railway. The class was introduced into service between March 1840 and December 1842, and withdrawn between December 1863 and July 1879. Following the success of the Star class locomotives introduced to the Great Western Railway by Daniel Gooch, Gooch set to work to develop a new class based on North Star, but with larger boilers. The result was the Fire Fly, later followed by 61 similar locomotives designated the same class.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Klasse Fire Fly war eine Baureihe von Breitspur–Dampflokomotiven mit der Achsfolge 1A1 für Schnellzüge der Great Western Railway. Die Firefly war die erste von Sir Daniel Gooch entworfene Dampflokomotivbaureihe für die Great Western Railway. Sie wurde erstmals 1840 nach dem Vorbild der bewährten, von Stephenson gelieferten GWR-Klasse Star gebaut. In der Folge wurden 61 weitere Maschinen dieser Bauart gefertigt. In Vergleichsfahrten zeigte sich die dieser Serie zugehörige Ixion größerer Geschwindigkeiten fähig als ihre Normalspur-Wettbewerber. Ab 1865 wurde die Firefly-Klasse der Priam Class zugeordnet.Die Außerdienststellung der ganzen Serie erfolgte zwischen Dezember 1863 and Juli 1879. Eine originalgroße, betriebsfähige Replik der Firefly ist seit 2005 im zu sehen, wo sie auf einem kurzen Stück Breitspurstrecke fahren kann. (de)

The result was the Fire Fly, later followed by 61 similar locomotives designated the same class. From about 1865, the Fire Fly Class locomotives became part of the Priam Class, along with the Prince Class locomotives. The original Fire Fly is said to have covered the 30.75 miles (49.49 km) from Twyford to London Paddington in 37 minutes, an average speed of 50 miles per hour (80 km/h), which was unprecedented in 1840.
