They were designed for goods trains but were also used on passenger trains when required. The locomotives were ordered by Evans, Walker and Gooch who were now contracted to operate the locomotives for both the railways. They were built by Slaughter, Grüning and Company. The locomotives of both railways were operated as a combined fleet by the South Devon Railway after 1 July 1866. On 1 February 1876 the South Devon Railway was amalgamated with the Great Western Railway, the locomotives were given numbers by their new owners but continued to carry their names too. Four similar locomotives were built for the Vale of Neath Railway in 1861. Some of these could be found working on the South Devon lines after the 1876 amalgamation. There is some question of identification between some members of this class and the closely related Romulus class, see . The earlier ''Dido'' locomotives had 16½ in × 24 in cylinders and 4 ft 6 in driving wheels, the later ''Romulus'' locomotives had slightly larger cylinders and wheels of 17 in × 24 in and 4 ft 9 in wheels. lists ''Hebe'', ''Ajax'', ''Brutus'', ''Argo'', ''Atlas'', ''Juno'' as the Romulus class, along with ''Romulus'' and ''Remus''. The ''Dido'' class (which describes as the ''Ada'' class) consists of ''Dido'' and ''Hero'', together with three Llynvi Valley Railway locomotives: ''Rosa'' (rebuilt from a 4-4-0ST), ''Ada'' and ''Una''. ==Locomotives== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South Devon Railway Dido class」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
