===Later UK developments===
[[Sharp, Stewart and Company#Early days|Sharp, Roberts & Company]] constructed more than 600 2-2-2 locomotives between 1837 and 1857. Ten of these supplied to the [[Grand Junction Railway]] became the basis of [[Alexander Allan (locomotive engineer)|Alexander Allan's]] successful designs for the railway from 1845 (the first of which, formerly named ''Columbine'', is preserved). [[John Rennie the Younger|John Rennie]] supplied 2-2-2 locomotives to the [[London and Croydon Railway]] from 1838 and the [[London and Brighton Railway]] in 1840.<ref>D.L. Bradley, Locomotives of the London Brighton and South Coast Railway, Part 1, Railway Correspondence & Travel Society, 1969, p.36.</ref> [[Arend (locomotive)|Arend]] ("eagle") was one of the two first steam locomotives in the Netherlands, built by [[R. B. Longridge and Company]] of [[Bedlington]], Northumberland in 1839.

The Great Western Railway continued to order both [[Broad-gauge railway|broad gauge]] and [[Standard-gauge railway|standard gauge]] locomotives on the railway, including the [[GWR Firefly Class|Firefly]] and [[GWR Sun Class|Sun classes]] (1840–42), which were enlarged versions of [[GWR Star Class|North Star]]. [[Bury, Curtis and Kennedy]] supplied six 2-2-2 locomotives to the [[Bristol and Gloucester Railway]] in 1844, and fourteen to the [[Great Southern and Western Railway]] in Ireland in 1848, (the last of these has been preserved at [[Cork Kent railway station]].

The [[Jenny Lind locomotive]], designed by [[David Joy (engineer)|David Joy]] and built in 1847 for the [[London, Brighton and South Coast Railway]] by the [[E. B. Wilson and Company]] of [[Leeds]], became the basis of hundreds of similar passenger locomotives built during the 1840s and 1850s by this and other manufacturers for UK railways. The [[London and North Western Railway]] [[LNWR 2-2-2 3020 Cornwall|''Cornwall'']] locomotive was designed at [[Crewe Works]] as a [[4-2-2]] by [[Francis Trevithick]] in 1847, but was rebuilt as a 2-2-2 in 1858.

Although by the 1860s the 2-2-2 configuration was beginning to be superseded by the [[2-4-0]] type with better adhesion, the invention of [[Sandbox (locomotive)|steam sanding]] gave 2-2-2 singles a new lease of life, and they continued to be built until the 1890s. Notable late examples include [[William Stroudley]]'s [[LB&SCR G class|singles]] of 1874–1880, [[William Dean (engineer)|William Dean's]] [[GWR 157 Class (Dean)|157 class]] of 1878–79,<ref>{{cite book |last=Tabor |first=F.J. |editor-last=White |editor-first=D.E. |title=The Locomotives of the Great Western Railway, part four: Six-wheeled Tender Engines |date=February 1956 |publisher=[[Railway Correspondence & Travel Society]] |location=Kenilworth |page=D15}}</ref> and his [[GWR 3001 Class|3001 class]] (1891–92),<ref>{{harvnb|Tabor|1956|p=D19}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=le Fleming |first=H.M. |editor-last=White |editor-first=D.E. |title=The Locomotives of the Great Western Railway, part seven: Dean's Larger Tender Engines |date=October 1954 |publisher=[[Railway Correspondence & Travel Society]] |location=Kenilworth |isbn=0-901115-18-5 |pages=G7–G8}}</ref> both for the Great Western Railway. [[James Holden (engineer)|James Holden]] of the [[Great Eastern Railway]] created some [[GER Class D27|2-2-2 singles]] in 1889 by removing the [[coupling rod]] from a [[2-4-0]].
