Locomotives of the Great Western Railway

The Great Western Railway had an uninterrupted life of over a century to develop its locomotive designs as it was barely affected by the Grouping of 1923. As a result its locomotive history is a long and interesting one.

Background

Numbering and Classification

For an explanation of GWR locomotive classification and numbering, including details of the major renumbering schemes, see: GWR locomotive numbering and classification

Post-Nationalisation

British Rail continued to build GWR designs (the 1000, 1500, 1600, 4073 and 6959 classes in particular) immediately after Nationalisation. When the first BR Standard steam locomotives started to arrive, they were often compared unfavourably to ex-GWR locos, and the Western Region decided to take forward experiments with diesel-hydraulic and gas turbine locomotives.

Withdrawal

Withdrawal of ex-GWR locomotives took place earlier than for the other 'Big Four' companies as the Western Region took the decision to be the first to end steam traction. A handful of locomotives that had been transferred to other regions did survive for longer however. Ironically, because the Barry scrapyard received large numbers of ex-GWR locomotives, proportionately more survive today in preservation than the locomotives of the other companies.
