GWR 0-6-0PT

GWR 0-6-0PT

The GWR 0-6-0PT (Pannier Tank), is a type of steam locomotive built by the Great Western Railway with the water tanks carried on both sides of the boiler, in the manner of panniers. They were used for local, suburban and branch line passenger and goods traffic, for shunting duties, and as banker engines on inclines. The early examples, such as the 1901 and 2021 classes, were rebuilt from saddle tanks.

Classification

The GWR locomotives were classified into several different classes, the major ones being:

* GWR 645 Class
* GWR 1366 Class
* GWR 1500 Class
* GWR 1600 Class
* GWR 1901 Class
* GWR 2021 Class
* GWR 2721 Class
* GWR 5400 Class
* GWR 5700 Class
* GWR 6400 Class
* GWR 7400 Class
* GWR 9400 Class

The 5700 class was by far the most numerous, with 863 being built, a significant proportion by subcontractors.

Preservation

In fiction

* In The Railway Series, No.8, Duck the Great Western Engine is an example of a 5700 Class pannier tank.
* No. 5775 is featured in the film The Railway Children in a brown livery, with the initials of the fictitious "Great Northern and Southern Railway" on the tank sides.
