GWR 9400 Class

GWR 9400 Class

The Great Western Railway (GWR) 9400 Class is a class of 0-6-0 pannier tank steam locomotive.

Overview

The first ten were built by the GWR with the remaining 200 being built by private contractors for British Railways. These were the last steam engines to be built by the GWR.

There was one detail difference between the two batches. The GWR-built batch had superheaters but the others did not.

They were essentially a pannier tank version of the 2251 Class. They were numbered 9400 - 9499, 8400 - 8499, and 3400 - 3409. BR gave them the power classification 4F.

Numbers 8400 to 8406 were used on the Lickey Incline after its transferral to the Western Region of British Railways.
