Swiftsure was the first of eight or more similar locomotives with a single pair of driving wheels built by George Forrester and Company (Forresters) from 1834. The tank variant was the first passenger tank engine to enter service in the world. They have been claimed to be the first locomotives to use outside horizontal cylinders and also the first to use 4 eccentric cranks. The use of outside cylinders on a short wheelbases with no wheel balances resulted in an oscillating movement at speed, resulting in a nickname of "Boxers" and most being rebuilt from 2-2-0 to incorporate trailing axle becoming configured as 2-2-2. Locomotives were supplied to the Liverpool and Manchester Railway (L&MR), Dublin and Kingstown (D&KR), London and Greenwich (L&GR), Birmingham and Gloucester (B&GR), and a few other minor railways.
