Expressions Definition
GWR 1000 Class The Great Western Railway 1000 Class or County Class was a class of steam locomotive. 30 were built between 1945 and 1947, but none has survived. (references)
GWR 111 The Great Bear The Great Bear, number 111, was a locomotive of the Great Western Railway. It was the first 4-6-2 "Pacific" locomotive in the United Kingdom, and the only of that type ever built by the GWR, who subsequently persisted with the tried and true 4-6-0 locomotive type. In 1924 it was rebuilt as a Castle Class locomotive and given the name Viscount Churchill though it retained its number. No 111 was withdrawn in July 1953. (references)
GWR 1361 Class The Great Western Railway (GWR) 1361 Class is a class of 0-6-0 saddle tank steam locomotive. Five, nos 1361 - 1365 were built in 1910 and one, 1363 has survived to preservation at the Didcot Railway Centre. The later 1366 Class of 1934 were a development. (references)
GWR 1400 Class The Great Western Railway 1400 Class is a class of steam locomotive designed for brancline passenger work, originally classified as the 4800 Class. The later 5800 Class were very similar. (references)
GWR 2900 Class The Great Western Railway Saint Class 4-6-0 steam locomotives for passenger train work. Number 2925 Saint Martin was later rebuilt as the prototype Hall Class locomotive, and renumbered 4900. (references)
GWR 3200 Class The Great Western Railway Earl Class 4-4-0 steam locomotives for passenger train work. The nickname for this class was Dukedog since the locomotives were composed of former Duke Class boilers on Bulldog Class frames. The first, prototype conversion retained its Duke number and name (3265 Tre Pol and Pen), but the others took new numbers in the 32xx series and given the names of Earls. These names were removed in 1937 and re-applied to Castle Class locomotives. All these locomotives were renumbered 90xx in 1946 upon delivery of new 2251 Class engines. 9017 survives in preservation at the Bluebell Railway. (references)
GWR 3252 Class The Great Western Railway Duke Class 4-4-0 steam locomotives for passenger train work. Twenty locomotives were later rebuilt as Bulldog Class locomotives. A further thirty locos were later rebuilt as Earl Class locomotives; the prototype (number 3265) was not renumbered, but the others took numbers 3200-3228. (references)
GWR 3300 Class The Great Western Railway Bulldog and Bird Class 4-4-0 steam locomotives for passenger train work. These two classes were broadly similar, so are treated together here. Twenty locomotives were rebuilt from Duke Class locomotives; the rest were built new. Thirty locos were later rebuilt as Earl Class locomotives and renumbered 3265 (prototype conversion), 3200-3228. (references)
GWR 3700 Class 3440 City of Truro Great Western Railway City Class 4-4-0 locomotive number 3440 City Of Truro (built at the GWR Swindon Works in 1903, and renumbered 3717 in 1912) is reputedly the first steam locomotive in Europe to travel in excess of 100 mph (160 km/h), reaching a speed of 102 mph (164 km/h) whilst hauling the "Ocean Mails" special from Plymouth to London Paddington on 9 May 1904. This is widely believed to be correct but has not been conclusively proved. (references)
GWR 3800 Class The Great Western Railway County Class 4-4-0 steam locomotives for passenger train work. This class were subject to the 1912 renumbering of GWR 4-4-0 locomotives, which saw the Bulldog class gathered together in the series 3300-3455, and other types renumbered out of that series.
