[12], Churchward's standardisation aims meant that a number of tank locomotives were produced that were based on these tender locomotives. Lastly, the locomotive was allocated to the Cardiff East Dock . Originally designed by Charles Collett, Chief Mechanical Engineer for the Great Western Railway, the origins of the Castle Class were in the Star Class of 1907, which introduced the basic four-cylinder 4-6-0 layout to steam . 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.

The Star class was designed to take the top express trains on the GWR, with 61 in service by 1914, but after World War I there was a need for an improved design. The Great Western Archive . Unlike the Star class, there was no prototype. Together with diecast, etc by various makes. Most of the new locomotives built there were tank engines, some of them very long-lived; a few even survived the Second World War. He produced over 100 Ariadne class goods locomotives to a standardised design at a time when most classes ran to only ten or twenty locomotives, and components he designed were often interchangeable between different classes. Instructions were passed to Swindon Works to select a suitable locomotive and as 5005 Manorbier Castle was being prepared for test, additions were made to the locomotive to effect some streamlining. 1213 as rebuilt, were built by the GWR at Swindon in 1923: These two, together with no. 50685082 delivered June 1938 to June 1939.

In 1927,only three years after the first 'Castle' was completed at Swindon, there appeared the first of the 'King' Class four-cylinder locomotives. In addition, due to the exacting dimensions that this achieved, valve gear tolerances could be greatly reduced to the absolute minimum when new, so much so that an ex-Great Western man, when reviewing the manufacturing practices of other railway companies, remarked "We scrap at the amount of clearance that they start with". They initially had Indian red frames but this was later changed to black. Superheater tubes, no. He also set about designing many new types to replace the older examples.

The four cylinders of the "Castles" are 16 in diameter with a stroke of 26 in against the 16 x 28 in of the "Kings". Chuchward abandoned the notion of Pacifics for Great Western main-line passenger work and concentrated, after experimenting with French-built compound 4-4-2s, on four-cylinder 4-6-0s. The GWR used the 4-6-0 wheel arrangement extensively from Churchward onwards. [10], In 1926, number 5000 Launceston Castle was loaned to the London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) where it ran trials between London and Carlisle. [13] A larger 4-4-0 was produced in 1904 in the form of the County class, but further increases in size demanded more wheels. Any views or opinions expressed and information in the documents on this page are not necessarily those of 125 Group, or any of the train operating companies .

The railway was vested jointly between the Great Western Railway and the Midland Railway on 1 July 1894 . Two very different freight tank locomotive types appeared in 1910. Once the additions had been added a test run was carried out between Bristol and Swindon during which Manorbier Castle achieved a speed of 100mph, but the experiment did not have any lasting effect on GWR locomotive design and the additions were later removed.[12]. Home Page Locomotive name database Preserved Steam Locomotives 1934 (5023 - 5032) to lot number 295, After the Second World War, and indeed after nationalisation in 1948, 'Castles' continued to be turned out by Swindon works.

Airfix/GMR (and later Dapol) also produced an OO model; Tri-ang released a TT gauge model; and Graham Farish (later Bachmann) released N gauge models. 1.1 Castle Class Steam Locomotive The origins of this highly successful design date back to the Star Class of 1907 which introduced the basic 4-cylinder 4-6-0 layout with long-travel valves and Belpaire firebox that was to become synonymous with the GWR. 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. Details: Castle class, 100 A1 to 4099 Details: Castle class, 5000 to 5049 Details: Castle class, 5050 to 5099 He also introduced diesel power in the form of streamlined rail cars in 1934. The later engines were of a slightly modified design by F W Hawksworth with the larger straight-sided all-welded tender, and some Castles were fitted with larger superheaters, double blastpipes and chimneys. 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. 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. [18] At the king's state funeral on 28 January 1936, Windsor Castle was chosen to haul the funeral train from Paddington Station in London to Windsor & Eton. They are mostly in museums or on heritage railways in the United Kingdom, predominantly in the area formerly served by the GWR. We plan to produce a good selection of the above names and periods depending upon the orders. Many observers noted that this batch of Castle's when newly out-shopped ran with the quietness of a sewing machine. Including 2x kit-built locomotives; a Class 7F 0-8-0, 49508.
