Seven locomotives were taken over on 1 October 1895. [2] They were designed by the railway's Chief Mechanical Engineer, Charles Collett, for working the company's express passenger trains. Most express passenger locomotives carried distinctive names, generally following themes such as kings (the 6000 class), cities (3700 class), counties (3800 class, later the 1000 class), castles (4073 class), and halls (4900 class). 4000 North Star was rebuilt into a Castle, being subsequently withdrawn in 1957. The fastest recorded speed of a Castle Class engine was 102mph achieved by 7018 Drysllwyn Castle at Little Somerford in April 1958 while hauling The Bristolian from Bristol to London. 4000 gallons 1935 (5033 - 5042) to lot number 296, The prototype was built as a 4-4-2 Atlantic. During its prime, the Star Class . Tom Scott replaced Thaw as the president January 20, 1871. 4079 was originally planned to operate on the mainline following completion of its ongoing overhaul, but a later announcement by Didcot where they intend to stop operating on the mainline means it will only run on heritage railways. The 4073 or Castle Class are 4-6-0 steam locomotives of the Great Western Railway, built between 1923 and 1950. + $41.62 shipping. 2925 Saint Martin, which was a GWR Saint Class .

Boiler maximum dia. List of GWR 4073 Class locomotives. The 4073 or Castle Class are 4-6-0 steam locomotives of the Great Western Railway, built between 1923 and 1950. [11], In 1935 attention was turning to streamlining locomotives, particularly with the introduction of the LNER A4, and the GWR felt that they could gain publicity in this area. Red [12], Churchward's standardisation aims meant that a number of tank locomotives were produced that were based on these tender locomotives. Withdrawal of steam power started in the 1950s, with the first 100 A1 Lloyds withdrawn from Old Oak Common in March 1950. Swindon 's STEAM museum is marking the centenary of the Great Western Railway Castle Class locomotives with two new exhibitions of photographs. After the Battle of Britain in 1940, twelve Castle's, numbers 5071 to 5082, were renamed in honour of the types of aircraft that flew in the Battle. 2900 GWR Churchward 4-6-0 Saint . 163.76 square feet The final engineer was Frederick Hawksworth who took control in 1941 and produced GWR-design locomotives until after nationalisation in 1948.

Together with diecast, etc by various makes. Bristol and Exeter Railway locomotives were absorbed on 1 January 1876. The first, the 57 class were 0-6-0 goods locomotives built in 1855. 14 feet 10 inches Below is a list of all 171 GWR Castle Class engines, built between August 1923 and August 1950. 6 feet 8 inches [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. Taken over July 1898. 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). Free delivery for many products. To meet this need, Chief Mechanical Engineer George Churchward had in mind an enlarged Star class design with a standard No.7 boiler, as fitted to his GWR 4700 Class express freight 2-8-0. and dia. For express trains he initially developed the 2-2-2 type, culminating with the elegant 3031 class. The names and numbers were afterwards retained with their new locomotives but the commemorative plaques were returned. Three locomotives were acquired on 1 January 1909, they were used on both the Caradon and the Liskeard and Looe Railways. 123 locomotives acquired on 1 January 1922 given numbers in random series. Improvements included a compartment situated between the centre and trailing wheel splashers on the left-hand side to accomodate the fireirons - first trialed on number 4085 Berkeley Castle and changes to the locomotive springing and inside valve chest design. 50685082 delivered June 1938 to June 1939. 700001/0607/09/15/1718/2021/2728/3031/33/3637, 5000/02/18/26/37/39/5457/70/7374/76/85/89/91/96/98, They could reach speeds of up to 100 mph (160 km/h). The result was an increase in tractive effort to 31,625lb, and a locomotive that looked attractive and well proportioned while remaining within the 20-ton axle limit. Test run . Joseph Armstrong's early death in 1877 meant that the next phase of motive power design was the responsibility of William Dean, his assistant and successor. 53 (+1) locomotives were taken over in 1875. These two, and six other Castles, survive in preservation. Great Western Railway steam locomotive name database.

Superb factory fitted ESU sound systems on all models. Olton Hall was completed in April 1937 and initially based at Neath, South Wales, subsequently being re-allocated to many parts of the former Great Western system, notably Cornwall and the West Midlands. 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. Lot 280: Nos. [10] The resulting trials commenced in April 1925 with 4079 Pendennis Castle representing the GWR on the East Coast Main Line and 4474 Victor Wild representing the LNER on GWR tracks. 2ft3in (686mm) narrow gauge locomotives: Two locomotives were transferred to the Great Western Railway when Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Railway closed in 1940: On 1 January 1948 all existing GWR locomotives became the property of the new British Railways (BR); unlike other companies stock, all the steam locomotives continued to carry their GWR numbers. 4-cylinder Castle Class 5063 'Earl Baldwin' Stars: Churchward cabs with no side windows. The final batch were built in December 1947, and would be the final express locomotives built for the Great Western Railway, and as such were named after old Great Western engines, with the final engine named after the designer himself - with No.8016 christened as 'Great Britain'; No.8017 as 'Dreadnought'; No.8018 as Lord of the Isles . An important improvement was made to the next batch of Castle's from number 5023 onwards. Wagon Rev., 1926, 32, 341-2. Frederick Hawksworth only became the Chief Mechanical Engineer in 1941 and the Second World War meant that his new designs were few. They were renumbered into the 1301 1352 series. He designed the Hawthorn class of 2-4-0 and, in 1870, started the renewal of the Iron Dukes with more powerful boilers. G.W. Their boilers were based on those of the LMS Stanier Class 8F 2-8-0, a number of which had been built at Swindon during the War. The 'King' had a tractive effort of 40,300 pounds and yet was still in the 'Star' and 'Castle' tradition. They were 40734082, the number series continuing unbroken from the Star class. At Didcot 4079 Pendennis Castle took over for the run to Chester (General) and return. The seven years before the outbreak of war in 1914 saw increases in the weights of main-line passenger trains made possible mostly by the introduction of the 'Stars', however, by the time C B Collett took over from Churchward at Swindon in 1921, holiday traffic from London to Devon and Cornwall was demanding heavier trains and the GWR management devoted proportionally more money and resources to West of England services from Paddington than to any other routes. The grate area was increased to 29.4 square feet in the 'Castle' from the 27.07 square feet in the 'Star'. The prototype was built as a 4-4-2 Atlantic (but converted to 4-6-0 during 1909). One of Stanier's first tasks on becoming CME of the LMS in 1932 after being head hunted from the GWR was to set about production of a really large engine for the West Coast route. [2] They were designed by the railway's Chief Mechanical Engineer, Charles Collett, for working the company's express passenger trains. 1948-49 (7008 - 7027) to lot number 367, This is a list of all GWR Hall Class engines built by the Great Western Railway. 4079 Pendennis Castle is a 4-6-0 steam locomotive built in 1924 for the Great Western Railway (GWR) at Swindon Works to a design of Charles Collett. The 21 locomotives acquired in 1873 were renumbered into the 894 914 series. 700205/08/10/12/19/2526/32. 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. 1925 (4083 - 4092) to lot number 232, 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 and introduced from early 1907. 888, Swanage, Dorset, BH19 9AE, United Kingdom. Collett was sufficiently confident of the design to place an order with Swindon Works (Lot 224) for ten locomotives in 1923, although there was a four-month delay between the appearance of the first example in August 1923 and the second in December, to allow for the correction of any teething problems. They could reach speeds of up to 100mph (160km/h).[3]. Opened on 15 August 1872 and is believed to have been worked with a locomotive on hire from the Great Western Railway. [4] However, this combination would have taken the axle load over the 20-ton limit then set by the civil engineers, and in the end, nothing came of the idea.

Presentation Golden Age Models box fully lined with foam for protection. Most of the new locomotives built there were tank engines, some of them very long-lived; a few even survived the Second World War. The locomotive fulfilled the LMS requirements so well that the latter first requested the GWR to build a batch of Castles for use on the West Coast Main Line, and, failing that, a full set of construction drawings. 1939 (5093 - 5097) to lot number 324, However, railway writer Cecil J. Allen records that the GWR locomotive made a faster start from King's Cross to Finsbury Park than any LNER Pacific he had recorded up to that time,[10] and over the trial Pendennis Castle kept well within the scheduled time and used less coal, considerably denting LNER pride. 5076 Gladiator. Lot 303: Nos. Coal Capacity A freight version of the Saint, the 2-8-0 2800 class was introduced in 1903. In the '5013' class, this space was increased to normal standards, together with a reduction in the grate area from 30.3 square feet to 29.4 square feet, together with the number of small tubes were decreased from 201 to 197. 8P 46200 - 46212 4-6-2 LMS Stanier Princess Royal.

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. 1934 (5023 - 5032) to lot number 295, Please refer to the full list of locomotives below. In fact, as many as 15 Castle Class locomotives came to be thanks to Star Class conversions (including Tresco Abbey). No. [8] Those built before 1926 were fitted with a 3,500impgal (16,000l; 4,200USgal) tender but thereafter 4,000impgal (18,000l; 4,800USgal) became standard for the class. Following the success of the prototype, several series of Star Class locomotives would be built between 1907 and 1923. They proved highly efficient in working heavy expresses on the main lines that would take their weight. 225 lbs/square inch. He updated Collett's Hall class to produce the GWR 6959 Class, known as "Modified Halls", and produced the last GWR 2-cylinder 4-6-0s, the County class 4-6-0, which ended a tradition that had begun with the Saint class 42 years before. Details: Castle class, 7000 to 7037 Windsor Castle The Gas-Turbine Castle, County class introduction Grange class introduction Hall class introduction King class introduction Many early locomotives were replaced by standard GWR designs, but many others were rebuilt using standardised components. This page was last edited on 20 December 2022, at 08:30. Railway. Nine locomotives were transferred from the Cornwall Mineral Railway on 1 July 1877, and one further one on 1 July 1896. On this Wikipedia the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. The new locomotives were named after castles, also in the west, beginning with Caerphilly Castle. He continued the Iron Duke renewal programme and added more convertibles, including some of Armstrong's 388 class goods locomotives. [5][6], With the acquisition of the northern standard gauge lines in 1854 came 56 locomotives, a second workshop at Wolverhampton, and Joseph Armstrong. They proved to be a successful design which handled the heaviest long-distance express trains, reaching top speeds of 90 mph, and . 50435063 were originally named after Castles, but were renamed in 1937 after Earls), Lot 310: Nos. After his brother was promoted to Swindon, George Armstrong took his place at Wolverhampton and for the next 33 years continued to repair, rebuild and build standard-gauge locomotives in a spirit of independence from Swindon, just as Joseph had done during his own ten years at Wolverhampton. [citation needed] Some locomotives that were absorbed in the 1923 grouping also survive today. GWR experimental 4-4-0ST number 13 was also regularly used on the line, at first hired to the Liskeard and Caradon, but it continued to be used after the Great Western Railway took over operations. Built 1923-50 (173 built). The new locomotive was renamed Viscount Churchill and survived until withdrawal in July 1953. Two locomotives were owned by the company but never taken into stock of either the Great Western Railway or the Midland Railway. 39 locomotives acquired on 1 January 1922. A quantity of model railway, mainly OO gauge by Tri-ang, etc. + $38.24 shipping. To replace some of the earlier locomotives, he put broad gauge wheels on his standard gauge locomotives and from this time on all locomotives were given numbers, including the broad gauge ones that had previously carried just names.
