Smaller 2-4-0s, such as the 439 class of 1868, worked slower passenger trains while 0-6-0s, such as the 388 class, continued to operate freight trains. 1938-39 (5068 - 5082) to lot number 310, Sounds of Steam Back to Basics Barry Scrapyard Sitemap Steam Locomotive Index The 4200 class was a tank version of the 2800 class, but a demand for small locomotives for working on dock and branch lines was met by the 1361 class, a new design based on the old Cornwall Minerals Railway 0-6-0ST design but using as many of Churchward's standard parts as possible.[14]. The 85 broad gauge locomotives added to the Great Western Railway fleet on 1 February 1876 included not just the South Devon Railway locomotives but also the 19 owned by the Cornwall Railway and 8 from the West Cornwall Railway, which had all operated in a common pool since 1866. Flashing green, brass and copper, the Great Western's 'Star' Class 4-6-0 four-cylinder express passenger engines, designed by the company's Locomotive, Carriage and Wagon Superintendent G. J. Churchward and his team of engineers, were Britain's most successful and economical main-line passenger power from 1907, when the first of the class appeared. The first was an Iron Duke class broad gauge locomotive built in 1846, the first locomotive entirely constructed at the company's Swindon locomotive works. Red Boiler length The 'Castle's' tractive effort was 31,625 pounds at 85 per cent boiler pressure compared to the 'Star's' 27,800 pounds, and the 29,835 pounds, also at 85 per cent boiler pressure, of the first Gresley Pacifics of the LNER. Much was made in GWR publicity of the 'Castles' roomy cab, with side windows and comfortable seats for the driver and fireman, and a canopy extending rearwards for shelter.

The Great Western Railway 4000 or Star were a class of 4-cylinder 4-6-0 passenger steam locomotives designed by George Jackson Churchward for the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1906. He later produced standardised 0-6-0 and 2-6-0 goods locomotives (the 2301 and 2600 "Aberdare" classes), and 0-6-0STs of various sizes (the 2021 and 2721 classes). On 30 November 1948, a passenger train hauled by 5022. Two locomotives were taken over. They were designed by the railway's Chief . She was modified towards the end of her career and fitted with a four-row superheater and double chimney, enabling her to compete with new diesels being introduced on fast trains. Electrical pick-ups on locomotive and tender wheels for very smooth running. [8], In 1946 Frederick Hawksworth, Collett's successor, introduced a higher degree of superheat to the Castle boiler with resulting increased economy in water consumption. 4079 was purchased by Sir William McAlpine and hauled a small number of railtours on the main line in its early preservation years before being sold to Hamersley Iron in the Pilbara region of Western Australia and exported in 1977. Many of the most familiar GWR tank locomotive classes were designed during this period: the 1400 class for small branch lines and auto trains; the 4575 class (a development of the 4500 class with larger tanks) and the large 6100 class 2-6-2Ts; the massive 7200 class of rebuilt 4200 class 2-8-2Ts; and the iconic pannier tanks of the 5700 class, the first of which appeared in 1929. 4082 Windsor Castle from the Swindon Works to Swindon railway station, accompanied on the footplate by Queen Mary.

The most familiar from this period are the Iron Duke Class 2-2-2s with their 8-foot (2.44m) driving wheels, a type that operated express trains right up to the end of the broad gauge in 1892. Great Western Railway steam locomotive name database. Lot 296: Nos. [19], The same locomotive was requested for the funeral of King George VI in February 1952; however, Windsor Castle was under repair at Swindon, so the number, name plate and commemorative plaques were swapped with No. Including 2x kit-built locomotives; a Class 7F 0-8-0, 49508. The first Locomotives of the Great Western Railway (GWR) were specified by Isambard Kingdom Brunel but Daniel Gooch was soon appointed as the railway's Locomotive Superintendent. He designed the Hawthorn class of 2-4-0 and, in 1870, started the renewal of the Iron Dukes with more powerful boilers. Taken over July 1898. The Castles handled all but the heaviest loads, these being entrusted to the 30-strong King Class, themselves a development of the Castles with an even larger boiler and smaller wheels (6ft 6 in diameter) for both increased tractive effort and to allow for loading gauge clearance. The final engineer was Frederick Hawksworth who took control in 1941 and produced GWR-design locomotives until after nationalisation in 1948. Heating surfaces, firebox Two locomotives were taken over, both being built by Manning Wardle. Collett's solution was to take the basic layout of the Star with an extended frame, and add a newly designed No.8 boiler which was both larger and lighter.

Three 1ft11+12in (597mm) gauge locomotives acquired with the Cambrian Railways on 1 January 1922, also two new locomotives, similar to the earlier 2-6-2Ts, built in 1923. There were three locomotives all standard gauge and were numbered 1385-1387, being taken over 1 September 1886. The "Caerphilly Castle", built in 1923, was at that time the most powerful locomotive in Great Britain. The Great Western Railway (GWR) 4900 Class or "Hall Class" is a type of rebuilt 4-6-0 steam locomotive designed by Charles Collett, for 'Mixed Traffic' applications. (NB?? On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. [12], Experiments had already been made for a 4-6-0 design while Dean was still in charge, and these continued under Churchward; the first 4-6-0, number 100, appeared in 1902 as the initial prototype of what became the Saint class. 2900 GWR Churchward 4-6-0 Saint .

Dean went on to develop express 4-4-0 types, but the familiar 4-6-0s of later years were initially introduced by the next engineer, George Jackson Churchward. [2] They were designed by the railway's Chief Mechanical Engineer, Charles Collett, for working the company's express passenger trains. In 1864 Gooch was succeeded by Joseph Armstrong who brought his standard gauge experience to the workshops at Swindon. It was then transferred to the Warwickshire Coal Company in 1933 for use at the, 37, 4749, 52, 6465, 7072, 99104, 127138, 708, 710726, 807, 729, 742, 747, 74, 776780, 11, 21, 332, 504, 698, 888, 1084, 1113, 13721375, 1668, 1670, 10841086, 1088, 10901091, 1093, 10961097, 11001107, 20, 22, 3335, 1, 910, 28, 11, 21, 27, 26, Sold to Kidwelly Timplate Company in 1923, Renumbered 11501152 between 1949 and 1951, 612, 614, 618619, 622, 625, 629, 631, 657, 659660, 8491, 97101, 105110, 112115, 117119, 122, 127, 129131, 133146, 148, renumbered 1141, 1143, 1145 between 1948 and 1950, 1085 & 1086 renumbered 1146 & 1147 in 1949, 7, 1012, 20, 45, 75, 80, 9091, 122125, 127130, 132136, 138140, 144, 149, 154, 156160, 162, 164, 165, 400416, 3, 42, 52, 120, 335, 337, 343349, 351352, 356357, 360362, 364368, 370391, 393394, 397399, 401404, 406, 408, 438441, 401404, 406, 408, 438441 renumbered 303309, 312, 316, 322 between 1947 and 1950, 219, 253, 259, 261, 281, 284, 288, 298, 337, 210, 217, 220, 235236, 239, 242, 245, 283, 297, 301302, 304, 313314, 316, 320, 322, 325, 327328, 333, 335336, 339340, 354, 356360, 912933, 935936, 938939, 941944, 946, , 948, 968970, 974, 978, 984, 10001002, 45, 1415, 51, 54, 71, 8689, 150, 176181, 16, 22, 24, 50, 53, 74, 145148, 151153, 163, 166169, 344, 349, 362, 364365, 442445, 462, 466, 478, 481484, 487493, 503, 505508, 511, 513, 515516, 520, 552, 560, 567, 573, 577580, 582586, 105, 12, 6, 89, 17, 35, 3839, 43, 46, 4849, 56, 5859, 6769, 9495, 9798, 101102, 104, 108116, 118119, 121, 13, 36, 236, 278295, 420, 296302, 310311, 313315, 317321, 324, 333, 409, 414, 420, 300, 310311, 313, 315, 317321, 324, 333, 409, 414 renumbered 220, 200, 203205, 207211, 215219 between 1946 and 1950, Original body fitted with new-build steam bogie.

As a result of this, GWR General Manager Sir Felix Pole proposed to LNER Southern Area General Manager Alexander Wilson that a trial of the two types should take place via an exchange arrangement. They were 0-4-2Ts which appear to have been rebuilt from ex-London and North Western Railway tender engines. The lowest mileage of a Castle was the 580,346 miles run by 7035 Ogmore Castle between August 1950 and June 1964; the highest mileage of any Castle class was by 4080 Powderham Castle which totalled 1,974,461 miles in 40 years and 5 months.

This reduction did not have any adverse effect on the steaming performance as it was normal practce to run with a deep fire built up in 'hay-cock' fashion, and rather than pure grate area, it was the ability to burn coal economically that gave the Great Western locomotives their qualities. Again the GWR took the honours with Caldicot Castle burning less fuel and always ahead of time, this being illustrated on the last 2 days of the trial by gaining 15 minutes on the schedule in both directions. In 1927,only three years after the first 'Castle' was completed at Swindon, there appeared the first of the 'King' Class four-cylinder locomotives. 5076 Gladiator.

[10], Several locomotives were honoured with the name Great Western. These locomotives were built with minimal changes to the dimensions. They were 40734082, the number series continuing unbroken from the Star class. [5][6], With the acquisition of the northern standard gauge lines in 1854 came 56 locomotives, a second workshop at Wolverhampton, and Joseph Armstrong. [5] A standard gauge 3031 class locomotive, number 3012, was then given the Great Western name. The 4073 or Castle Class are 4-6-0 steam locomotives of the Great Western Railway, built between 1923 and 1950. This tradition dated back to the first locomotives delivered to the railway, for all broad gauge locomotives initially were identified only by names, numbers first appearing on the standard gauge locomotives acquired with the northern companies that became part of the GWR in 1862. Seven locomotives were taken over on 1 October 1895. In October 1925 a second Star class, No. The names and numbers were afterwards retained with their new locomotives but the commemorative plaques were returned. Jointly vested with the Midland Railway from 1 September 1890. He was also responsible for the introduction of self-propelled Steam Rail Motors for suburban and light branch line passenger trains. [11] After his appointment as Locomotive Superintendent in 1902 he developed a series of standard locomotive types with flat-topped Belpaire fireboxes, tapered boilers, long smokeboxes, boiler top feeds, long-lap long-travel valve gear, and many standardised parts such as wheels, cylinders and connecting rods. Model steam locomotives to enhance your model train set. Following the success of the prototype, several series of Star Class locomotives would be built between 1907 and 1923. In fact, as many as 15 Castle Class locomotives came to be thanks to Star Class conversions (including Tresco Abbey). 14 feet 10 inches For the LNER, Victor Wild was compared on the Cornish Riviera Express to 4074 Caldicot Castle and although it kept to time the longer wheelbase of the Pacific proved unsuited to the many curves on the route. In 1927,only three years after the first 'Castle' was completed at Swindon, there appeared the first of the 'King' Class four-cylinder locomotives. The trains that we have already named are featured below, including biographical information on each person as well as pictures and videos from the ceremonies. The origins of this highly successful design date back to the Star Class of 1907 which introduced the basic 4-cylinder 4-6-0 layout with long-travel valves and Belpaire firebox that was to become characteristic of Great Western Railway (GWR) express passenger locomotives.
